Lines in iDrive Display
I’ve got a 2019 X5, took delivery in December 2018 and hadn’t noticed this until now (which makes me believe that it wasn’t always happening). I have these lines that aren’t exactly horizontal, more like on a 20 degree angle in the display. They move as you move your eyeline so they seem to be related to hardware. They appear as if there’s a polarized piece of glass in front of the LCD display. This is very noticeable in bright conditions when the display brightness is at the max. It’s not very easy to see it at night because the display is dimmer.
You can’t see it at all unless there’s a white or light map on the screen (it’s much worse with light colors - the absolute worst when using waze or google maps in car play). It may have started when I got my last software update a month ago but I hadn’t really driven during the day with the maps open until now. It looks like those little ‘3D’ stickers we had as a kid where one direction shows one thing and the other shows something different, just a faint set of lines that cover the whole screen about 1-2mm apart. I have a photo, though it’s hard to see because the camera doesn’t capture it well, but you can see it nonetheless. Could anyone with a 2019 X5 let me know if they’re also having this issue - you have to check in very bright conditions, as it’s not visible at night and there’s no way to manually adjust the brightness of the control display.
