It also has to do with heat. If the car sits out for a very long time and there is heat directly on the iDrive, I believe the iDrive 6 with Touchscreen goes a bit crazy.
Had this happen once in my close to 1 year ownership of my 18' M3. Never had it happen to my 15' M4. If it happens again I'll take it in but there has been another thread about this before something like, "My iDrive is haunted" or something.

Sounds like a faulty digitizer (touchscreen). Take it to the dealer so they can replace it.

18 F87 owner here. Found this thread from google.
Experiencing the same issue. Saw it first a couple month ago and just started cropping up again yesterday, and then this morning. No rhyme or reason to where it goes, or when it happens. Am going to try to get a video before I take it in to get serviced. I'm due for an oil change next month anyways. |

Mine has now done it twice in a matter of days. '18 zcp M3. Scheduled to take it in tomorrow. In every case was the fix the touchscreen? Kind of hate taking it in and having them mess with my car but as it has happened twice I guess I will.

I have had this happen at least 7-8 x on 2018 built Oct 2017. Thanks for the volume reset idea. Only happens within nav screen view. I have also found if I physically wipe the touchscreen, it ceases to freak out.

I think mine was a Sept. 2017 build. It has thankfully not repeated since the two instances a week and half ago. Fingers crossed. I think if it happened to me 7-8 times I would take it in and have them fix. Did you try taking it in?

This thread seems to hold the answer. Replace the touch screen.

Anyone have any additional information, or perhaps the SIB to share? I can't find the SIB referenced in the M2 thread.
I shared a video of it happening with Service and they have been able to reproduce, but they said they are reprogramming first. Then next step is replacing the headunit? I'm worried that I'm going to have to make a couple inconvenient trips to the dealer, when the solution seems to be well documented as the touch screen. Tim

My question: when the dealers changed out your touchscreens, did you receive part no. 8709339? I ask because it appears from your posts that the replaced screen does not exhibit the ghost/phantom touch problem, and I am trying to determine if part no. 8709339 is known to resolve this problem. Thanks very much!

While I'm on the subject I would like to recommend this glass screen protector. It works exactly like the Belkin glass protectors do for iPhones. The quality is extremely impressive, especially for the price, and the installation instructions are clear and very thoughtful. I highly recommend it for anyone with a touchscreen who has OCD about fingerprints on the screen and the like. The only potential negative with the protector is that it has a glare if hit with direct sunlight, as would happen in a convertible when the sun is directly behind the car. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FR3868...t_details&th=1 Hope this is helpful.

Bumping this thread. I've had this problem with my 2018 M3 since I bought it new. But it seems to be acting up more and more these days.
I typically just hold down the button to reset and go about my day. I rarely drive the car. but now its like everytime I get into it I have to deal with it. I had taken it to the dealer while it was under warranty and never got any permanent fix. And then time got away from me and now its no longer under warranty. Is the definitive answer the screen? If so I may take the opportunity to upgrade to the 10" from the X5 if I've gotta spend money either way at this point. |

If are interested in swapping out the 8.8" display for a 10.25" display, there is now a much better OEM option than using the F15's 10.25" display and cutting the back, etc., to make it fit the F8x. You can now easily retrofit the 10.25" display from the G3x/F90 using an adapter that BimmerTech sells. Here is a thread about my experience with this upgrade (as well as that of others on here who have done the same upgrade). https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2090329

The touchscreen can fail and this is what causes majority of the issues. Hence they made a few models of the screen would be my guess to fix this. If anyone wants a touchscreen in the UK let me know as I’ve got a mint one.
