hopefully this means they are deploying a new widget system and have redirected us to temporary place holder widget in the meantime. The current clock is useless, personally my favorite is the digital clock and weather.

Turns out both coded and not-coded X5's are suffering from this outage and forced analog watch display. If BMW had the way of pushing such an artful clock into our dashes, why can't they send weather data? Or maybe send quote of the day or something..

It could be, because I'm not having any issues getting weather, widgets or what have you. I got my vehicle updated a month ago. Just went out again and checked, no issues!!

I have now set a small map there instead.
At least better than the square clock

I am tired of looking at the analogy clock waiting on the Widget to return so I am experimenting with other looks.

Anyway, if the widgets start working again I hope someone will post in this thread so we can know to change our settings back to our first choice.

That's a shame. A damn shame, I tell you. I loved that weather screen.
$70k vehicle, can't get simple connection right.

I agree. I have to turn my head down to the right to look at my phone for the weather now. Unacceptable.

So where do you look when you want to know what direction you are driving (unless you switch to the xDrive view)?

Analog clock is a bigger problem, it doesn't even have numbers. How am I supposed to tell time now? It's outrageous, at least put some digits on that clock.

Doesn't it show in your HUD like mine does?

Sunny = big orange disk that makes you go a bit squinty
Rain = HUD a bit blurry unless you turn on wipers
Etc...

I like having Sports Display on left and xDrive display on right. Makes it look like I am doing something serious with the vehicle while I am rolling down congested NYC highway at 20mph in a stop and go traffic.

I saw your post and it would appear that my widgets are back in working order as well. Thanks.

Confirmed, it works! My depressing weather is back in full view. It's practically April, 31*F with a snow shower (yesterday) hopefully it will get better.
