Drove it to the airport and back with no issues. Everything was normal.

Tried to get it washed but the car wash guy said the rear wheels/tires were too wide (it's a lease, it is gonna go through car washes). Going to look for a hand spray type car wash today if I can.

iDrive 6 in the 2018 X5 is flaky - actually flakier than previous versions of iDrive. I am having three problems with it.
1. Heads-up display does not turn on every month or so. Only can me remedied by parking the car and letting it sit for a while. Everything else I've tried won't turn it back on 2. Preset setting for the radio/SAT is lost and it goes back to the last station you had on next start. For example, if I had a FM station on, when I start the X5 it now displays all FM stations when I try to change stations, not the presets I had it on. This problem is now happening a few times a week at least. 3. Forgets where the iDrive screen was. I usually have NAV and Entertainment on the screen. Most of the time it forgets this and goes back to the main tiles screen when I start the X5 again. Note iDrive 5 also was great at forgetting this last setting. 4. Crashes - three in four months. Entire iDrive system goes blank while driving and you have to wait for it to reboot. Not a fun thing to go through the first time. My last 2016 X5 with iDrive 5 sadly had the same problem. Overall pretty sad reliability for iDrive. I have had a number of X5s and while the overall reliability seems to be improving, every new version of iDrive gets worse. Time to take it in and get it updated. I wish BMW allowed owners to update the thing. Appears the updates you can do only impact phone and media connectivity, not the entire iDrive system. |

1. Unlock your car with the key fob 2. Set the seat memory 3. Add a radio station or SAT station to preset and make sure you have presets checked in Media 4. set the seat memory again 5. Exit car and lock with the key fob Be sure to also only have 1 of the keys on you. The above steps solved the issue for me. Mine was kicking me back to the whole SAT catalog periodically. I think there must be some bug where when using comfort access to unlock/lock the car it's not memorizing all the settings for your profile. I haven't had the issue re-occur after taking the above steps, whether I use the key fob or comfort access to unlock/lock the car. Hope this works for you! |

Modern BMW's need an on/off button so we can just reboot them from time to time.

Yah, let us know. I did some coding last night and noticed it defaulted to Sat again. Ran through the steps I outlined and has stayed on presets all day.

So less than a year into owning my 2017 X5.... I start the car today only to be greeted by our good friend the "check engine light" the drivetrain malfunction warning... drive moderately...
my last car.. (F30 335i with the same N55 engine) gave me three years of uninteerrupted fun.... this one.. not even a year.. and here we go. snagged an appt for today at 515 local time with a loaner for me. Service guy said it should ok to make the 20 minute trip to the dealership.. if it feels liek it can't make it.. stop and call for a tow. keeping fingers crossed. Good thing is.. might as well get the 1 year service done while its there... |

But all first world problems aside. I'm hoping it's just a faulty sensor and my car will be back to me shortly |

I wouldn't worry too much. Forums are where people go to post issues and in many cases, these issues are minor inconveniences/gripes/bugs. I'm nitpicky about things so I often end up discovering "problems" that a lot of people wouldn't even care about.

I personally think the opposite - you should go take a look at the F30 forums, or even the E90 before that. Quite honestly the fact that the problems I see with the F15 compared to either of those 2 makes me extremely optimistic about the long term outlook for the X5. I am generally only seeing BMW getting better with issues, not worse.

My wife's 2017 X5 started up today without displaying the normal "Starting up navigation software...". I just boots right into the menu. Voice Control, navigation, and the map options all give me "Function not available". I've tried restarting iDrive by holding the mute/power button for 25 seconds, but even after the restart, it never loads the navigation software.
We're also running the lastest iDrive update so I can't restore/update to see if it resolves it. Not sure what happened to cause it honestly, it was working fine just yesterday

Should I be worried that I haven’t gotten a call back since Thursday. Left a message for the SA today and got nothing back.
