THANK YOU ALL! My M3 started doing that within a couple months of delivery over a year ago. It's been very intermittent, and haven't seen it all winter. I thought maybe since the car is connected to BMW, maybe they downloaded a software update to fix it. Then it happened today after sitting bright sunlight. Previously I thought maybe it was heat related, but as today was pretty cool, the sunlight theory seems more likely.
When it first happened I called the dealer service manager and he claimed at the time there was no service bulletin or known fix. Tomorrow I'm calling him with the info from this forum. This problem is really bad as there is so much controlled by the idrive. Thanks again!
BTW, Things like this are just not acceptable. When you spend so much money on a new car you expect it to be without issues. The fact its under warranty doesn't make up for the fact that something went wrong with your expensive brand new car.
