Extended Instrument Cluster Blank Display

A few minutes later I got another error message saying that my pedestrian warning system was not functioning... I don't have that option in my car. When I got the error for pedestrian warning system the bottom 1/3 of the instrument cluster started working!!?? I then tried to use the cruise control and I got an error the CC system was not functioning and to contact my BMW dealer. Shutting off the car, waiting a minute and restarting didn't help. Shutting off the car, locking it, waiting 10 minutes and then restarting seemed to clear it up, for now. Car has about 3600 miles on it, doesn't give me the warm fuzzy's for the long run with this vehicle.
Same issue occurred on my 2016 X5 35i on August 20th. I have driver assist package and plus with HUD and during a 2.5 hour drive, started the vehicle after a rest stop and bottom 1/3 digital display of my instrument cluster was blank (no odometer, etc). There was an error message too about gear selector indicator malfunction. After braking on the highway, the display items reappeared but my HUD went off. Also there was error for 2 out of 4 safety systems (precollision and pedestrian warning had errors but blind spot and lane keep assist were fine ). I went into idrive menu and was able to turn back on HUD. The next day, all issues resolved themselves. I think maybe it's a heat or coding issue on the electronic system. Makes one wonder if BMW 6WB full digital displays ever get this issue, those drivers lose their whole instrument cluster!
