iDrive controller knob
after 40K miles, I've noticed at times that there is greater tension when turning the knob; anyone else experience this? easy fix?

I'm having a similar problem - BMW dealer took a look and couldn't fix it. They're ordering a new controller for installation. They thought, at first, it may be a simple situation - tried lubricants and such, but it appears to be a mechanical fault. So, a new controller was their conclusion. Should have the parts sometime in early January to replace it.

I noticed that turning the knob to the right reaches some sort of limit and it becomes hard to turn. So, I turned it to the left a few dozen times and it seems to be working ok for now.

They probably did a software update on your car as well.

I was at my Indy shop with my 540 yesterday and I asked about the sticking idrive controller on F10. He said it is likely a software bug as it is supposed to give you resistance at the end of a list only.
There should be no mechanical reason for it to have resistance as it is just a free-turning knob.

I'm having the same problem - sticky knob. It's definitely mechanical. I feel strong resistance either clock or counterclockwise and after several revolutions. I wonder if a simple cleaning or lubrication will fix it.
