Losing M Drive settings
Strange thing has happened twice with my car when starting.... my m drive settings get reset to blank so when pressing the m1 or m2 buttons, it just flashes ... I have to manually set again to fix... time and other settings are not impacted.. anyone else had this issue?

Yes, all personal setting is stored with the key fob. If you used the other key, all setting wont appear if you use the other key fob.

Are you holding the M1 and M2 buttons too long such that they overwrite stored settings to store whatever the settings are at the time as new settings?

Sounds like something to get checked at next service visit.

This happened to me the other day. had a few sensors go bad, lost power steering, DSC, bunch of safety nannies... Shut down car, turned it back on and all of the bad news went away... but when I tried pushing M1 or M2 it would just flash and wouldn't do anything. Another shut down and restart fixed it, but I required new sensors and a software update. I'd plug in a cable and see if you are throwing codes or just bring to a dealership for a quick diagnostic |

firedown31 ssuene93 TypeM4 FYI, the M button settings are not "stored" in the key fob. The M-button presets, as many other settings, are stored in a "user profile". When the unlock button is pressed, the user profile that was last used with that key fob is recalled. It might seem trivial and only about semantics, but the above is quite important in understanding some behavior with recalling settings, user profiles and key fobs.

I have a hunch the OP has not "lost" his M-button settings, but rather something with the car (a fault or whatever) is preventing their activation when pressing the button.
OP, the next time this happens, before doing anything, go in the Settings menu in iDrive to see if your M-buttons are still programmed as you had them.

You might have a bad HU-H or NBT EVO whichever of the two are in your car. Had a client with an M6 have same issue, I found the headunit defective after noticing he was having Bluetooth issues as well. This isn't a diagnosis as I'm not in front of the car but just some food for thought.

I have a 2017 M4 gts and just experienced that last night. I had been traveling and the car was not started for a while so I got an intense battery discharge. It was a bit late to take her out last night but I will share if the issue goes away after driving it for a while.

Hope it stays that way. I did install a Lithium battery tender just in case.
