I was able to install and log in to the BMW Connected Drive app, but the status it shows for the vehicle is not correct (shows the windows are open and doors unlocked, doesn't show correct mileage, etc.). No-one seems to have any idea how to resolve it yet. I was able to connect to the car's wifi network, but it shows no Internet connection also.

Having said that year after year the most trouble free cars/trucks have been Toyota and Lexus in general. I'll post some CR pix in a minute in a separate thread. |

Oddly, the car spontaneously rolled all of its windows down and opened the sunroof when it was parked this morning. This was the status that was showing yesterday when I was able to log in to the Connected app (car unlocked, windows open), so I wonder if them reinitiating the connection to the car caused this. The BMW Assist button worked when I got back into the car after this had happened.

FWIW I was unable to access playlists on Spotify in Apple Car Play which is exactly what you want to do when driving, use your playlist.

X5 is so broke they are replacing it
I took deliver on 12/5. I have had the car in my possession maybe one week since that time. It has been in the shop the rest of the time. The idrive and phone connectivity is a disaster. It took two trips where they had to do a factory reload of all the software to eventually get everything to work. Was in the shop once because of a check engine light that saved no code so they have no idea what that was all about. Then a few days latter the buttons that control the drive settings stopped working. Since the gear shift is all part of that one assembly they did not think we should continue to drive the vehicle. That assembly does not even have a part number yet so they were unable to even get one. They decided to …….. get this...…… order a replacement vehicle. Good on the dealer for doing what they felt needed to be done but bad on BMW for releasing a vehicle who's electronics seem to be as reliable as Windows 3. The loaner will connect to my iPhone about 50% of the time when you get in the car. If it does connect it will occasionally crash and you have to reboot the entire system. Sometimes the rear lift gate will close and sometimes you have to just grab it and manually push them shut. I have the option of trading my vehicle for the new exact configuration vehicle or just getting my check back. My heart tells me to take the new vehicle but my head tells me to take the offer of them just buying my car back.

It sounds like a pain but at least they are trying to make it right. It sounds like yours was having many more problems than what most are having here. When it comes right down to it, the problems most are having (mostly phone connections, wifi, 3d view) thankfully do not affect the driving.
While I'm sure I will be aggravated by them, when I pick mine up next week I fully expect that things will not be working in regards to the phone and am going to try any ignore/deal with them and enjoy the driving experience. Is that the way it should be for a vehicle costing $76k, or any amount for that matter, absolutely not but I'm going to try and keep the faith that the problems will be ironed out shortly. You will have to decide whether you are comfortable being in the same boat or would you rather just walk and go to another brand. I would imagine you had many reasons for choosing the X5 and the ability to connect to your phone was probably way down on the the list. Good luck and let us know how things turn out. |

Controller, surrounding buttons dark
Got in our 7 day old 2019 X5 with Offroad package this morning and the iDrive controller, height adjustment, Offroad selector and the buttons surrounding the controller are all dark and unresponsive. The touchscreen works fine as does the steering wheel controls. The buttons to the left of the gearshift (drive mode, etc) are all lit and working fine. Voice commands work fine.
Everything was fine up until now. Using the Spare key (my wife uses the one that was set up with the delivery of the car) for the first time. Anyone else with a similar issue? Is this a set up issue with the key? Ill try the volume knob reboot trick later. Traded in a 2016 7-series which was glitchy too, but the electronics in this X5 are way more complicated.... |

Software Update
So I dropped the car off at the dealer. The service manager says that there are already two software updates for the car that need to be installed and he feels that should fix the dead iDrive controller/height adjustment/Offroad switch part of the the center control area. Why they wouldn't have done software updates as part of the pre-delivery process last week is a mystery to me.....
To me it looks like an electrical problem, but what do I know? Gave me a 2019 540i loaner. It's amazing how dated the interior of the 5 looks compared to the X-5. The service manager thinks we will be back in our X-5 on Monday. We'll see.... Last edited by stomachdoc; 01-26-2019 at 05:57 AM.. Reason: forgot something |

This thread is scaring me, kinda. Just ordered a new X5. Hoping the assembly plant is doing a better job making sure vehicles are ready before shipping to dealer. My dealer is about 70 miles away so I'm not looking forward to multiple trips to get the vehicle sorted. Hopefully these glitches are not common to all. This forum is a great resource especially to new owners. Thanks.

Only issue I'm having now is a bit of flakiness with the phone connection. Occasionally it won't connect and the solution seems to be to turn wifi off then on on my phone. Sometimes CarPlay will freeze, disconnect then immediately disconnect as well.
