Just curious if anyone else experienced this ?
Did an automatic over the air update on my car Sunday night, when i went to drive it Monday morning non of the ambient lighting inside worked , the lights for the buttons on my steering wheel off , and dome lights inside not functioning either . Just dropped it off at the dealer , car is a 2026 base m3 manual

I'd try a iDrive reboot before taking it to the dealer...

Tried that . No luck dealer said there was a fault , they replaced the dome lights but now they’re having issues with coding
