Hi guys, ran into a bit of a weird issue tonight. My iDrive system started to turn off and on by itself. It's a very abrupt turning off - it's similar to if you turned off your computer manually by holding down the power button. It makes an audible popping noise like a guitar cable being unplugged from an amp too. Anyone else experience this before? Any input or fixes would be greatly appreciated! Car is a 2018 M2 w/ DCT completely OEM, only 5500 miles.

Otherwise maybe reset your Idrive in the settings and see if that solve it and maybe do that in relation to pulling the negative battery terminal.

seen something like this in my me, seems to be relatively common. phantom clicks on the idrive screen. seems to happen in the winter. I know they had a service bullitin out for it at one point.
haven't had a chance to take mine in yet. |

Interesting, it's odd that my service guy didn't mention anything about service bulletins but stated that it was a known issue. Is your car still under warranty? Hopefully they can take a look at yours and get it taken care of too.

It's very sporadic, but I do have video of when it happened. My SA is pretty good about pushing warranty stuff through so I'm sure it won't be an issue replacing the unit. |

Curious. If this wasn't covered under warranty, what would THAT bill have been?
