BMW online Widgets not working
So my Idrive I have had setup with split screen since last year. On left is the main content and on right I always have time and weather. It went blank on the right side 2 weeks ago and hasn't come back. I can go to BMW online in idrive and display weather and browse news etc, but none of the widgets display anymore in split screen. If I change to other choices besides widgets then they appear on right so it's not idrive. Seems to be BMW, but not sure. Anyone else lose their widgets? Anyway to do a hard restart of idrive?

Mine also went out though for one day, that the third time in two years, and I've noticed that after it comes back that I get over the air updates for some apps. Not sure if it's coincidence or related.

I have a 2016 435i M Sport with the tech package and mine stopped working about 2 weeks ago as well. I sent BMW a message but not have heard back. Going into the dealer next week so I will check if it isn't resolved by then.

After going to BMW online, press the option button, then select "delete data". After this go back to bmw online and it should start working. Worked for me.

I started with Split Screen and BMW Online widgets selected. I had a blank screen on the right side.
The key seemed to select another option for your split screen display after deleting local data, then go back and select BMW Online widgets. This caused the app to update and got it working again. I tried the other options, Clock, Flickr, and Weather, and they all worked.

Thanks everyone for the info. I tried all the steps and it did not work at first. I just kept playing with the Delete local data and the Update choices in the connected drive menu , under options and under BMW online options and the widgets came back.

Yup. Just saw this so I went and checked, and the digital clock with weather is still working.

Is it possible that the weather app is down again?

Weather app has not worked in my car since taking delivery in July.
Never had a problem in my 5er.

I have had the same intermittent "No GPS" error with my Weather app as well for the last week or so, with all other online services working fine. I decided to give the BMW Genius a chance, calling from the car. He told me that the provider of the Weather app service is having some network issues - which would explain the intermittent behavior.
Standby to standby I guess....
