Couple iDrive questions

I have two questions about iDrive that I cannot find an answer for so I'm hoping you guys can help me out here.

1. For some reason my iDrive wheel is reversed/inverted. Turning the iDrive dial to the right (clockwise) should zoom the map in but it does the opposite and zooms out. How can I fix this?

2. If I leave iDrive alone on the main menu, it will change to some old school analog clock that I don't like. Is this normal? Is there a way to use Bimmercode to change this?

I'm the second owner of my '17 F87 so I don't know if the car was this way from the factory or if the previous owner did something to make it this way. Any help would be appreciated!

I do not think you can fix this, mine does this too iirc.

It's normal, to remove this turn off your screen saver in idrive settings. No need for bimmer code.
