Not a big deal if it doesn't happen too ofter.

I've had this same thing happen twice in the first month of ownership. Seems that perhaps it's an iDrive re-boot issue. I've noticed that it will reboot after some of the iDrive controls are pushed on the center dash.

Very weird, especially as it's on start up and typically when I'm backing out and using the back up cam.
it's been 4 months since taking my new '16 x35i home and I'll be taking her in for her first service appointment to clear up these iDrive reboot issues.

I just did a 1500 mile trip to my parents and back and my iDrive system rebooted/stopped working 4-5 times during the trip. Sometimes while on the road and other times while getting gas or snacks. I hope that BMW can fix it and provide some explanation, as I know other owners and forum members have had similar issues.

I will let you know what I learn, appointment is April 15.

edit: I have 3500 miles on the vehicle.
UPDATE: I brought the car in for service this morning. My SA stated that they may need to order parts once they find the problem. I hope that's not the case.

Either way, I will let you know what is wrong. and what the repair recommendation is. I know a number of X5 owners have stated they're having this problem with their iDrive system.

PS. they gave me a red x3 28i for a loaner. love the color but glad I went with white. reds too loud for this car.


UPDATE: I spoke with my SA and I'm getting my vehicle back with a fresh reprogramming. BMW suggested a reprogramming the system and if that doesn't fix it they will replace. I will have more info when I pick up my vehicle later this evening
