As with most surveys though, they are usually biased as most people that answer are people at the extremes, either with lots of issues or extremely happy.
What issues have you experienced with your iDrive system?
First, the connected drive function for stuff like online search and bmw assist disappeared from my menus like it was never there. Fixing it at the dealer caused some other issues, that eventually was fixed.

Then after an over the air nav update that was done automatically, the idrive system would restart on its own, first once or twice a drive, then over a couple weeks kept doing it every 30sec to a min.

There are quite a few others on here that have had the same problem with the idrive restart. Couple people have needed their whole hardware unit replaced. Mine was fixed with a reflash/reinstall, has been working fine since.
