Need Help with Idrive 7

New to the community.. Have owned many BMWs before and was so exciting to purchase their X5 M50d latest model...Hope someone could help as I am running out of options. Called and visited dealer..called BMW Genius....Got the same answer "brand new system...teething problems...Wait for updates in next 2-3 months"....Do not buy this answer as problems are inconsistent...Sometimes something work, then stops working next time, etc.
Issues

1. Do not have access the option to save current position in Nav app in Favorites (Manual says should press Nav button, followed by pressing controller and a menu should pop up giving option to save to favorites...). Menu does pop up...Sometimes it gives the option to save to favorites, sometimes not

2. When it DOES give you this option, it saves the position of the cursor on the map which is ALWAYS in a different position (usually a few hundred feet) from the position of the car....Annoying when in a different country and need to save new positions discovered

3. Navigation map will sometimes go bezurk and show you totally off the road you are in and asking you to go back to road and then suddenly will go back to showing you where you are

4. Navigation arrows display sometimes disappears from the Heads Up Display and when this happens, the infotainment data also disappears form the Heads Up Display...All other speed and drive assist data still show up

4. Sometimes the widgets on the instruments cluster display do not change when you press the button on the turn indicator lever. They stay on the drive mode

These are not always happening but inconsistently...This is why I say I cannot accept that this is just a "teething issue"....Any help please on the specifics
