Issues with IDrive 7 on X5 M50d
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 symptoms appear, then start working again next time, etc.
Issues 1. Do not have access to 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.... Both issues annoying when in a different city/country and need to save new positions discovered whilst driving 3. Navigation map on Idrive display will sometimes go crazy and show you totally off the road you are in and asking you to go back to road and then suddenly (a few miles later) 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 5. 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 problems 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 |

Hi Greco, I also have an M50d down here in New Zealand but have other issues (bad exhaust noise) that I think are related to the software. Have you had any improvements on your X5? What software do you have installed on your M50d? Cheers. Denis
