Hi,

when executing 'bimmerconnected' I get the above mentioned error. Searching google gives the following hint:

instead of

import importlib.metadata write

from importlib_metadata import metadata
if importlib_metadata module is not installed then first install via

pip install importlib-metadata detail: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/59734959/19428695]

You are probably using a Python version < 3.8, which we do not support. Since Python 3.8, importlib.metadata is part of the core Python distribution.
