Where does your i-drive screen return to?

When I start my car, I assume that the i-drive screen should return to where it was when I turned off the car. For example, if I am listening to a track on my ipod, it is highlighted with a check mark. When I turn on my car sometimes the screen returns to that point and the checked song is still showing, often it has returned to the top of the playlist, although the song is still playing, and so I have to find the option "CURRENT PLAYBACK", and then other times it returns to the DISC top menu showing my ipod, DC/DVD, BLUETOOTH, USB options. The same happens with the radio. I have a number of presets (radio and satellite), and the one I am listening to is of course checked and displayed. When I restart the car, sometimes it returns to the same display showing the preset I am listening to, but at least half the time the display returns to the presets screen, but to the top of the list and so the checked preset is out of view, I must scroll to display it. Is this normal? My last car, a 335, always returned to exactly where I left it, but it was an older version of i-drive. Sorry if it is a little difficult to follow my description.

My car behaves exactly like this too.
I was wondering if it was just a problem with mine.
Another thing that I find is that songs on some albums from my ipod do not play in the correct running order when played in the car.The tracks seem to play in alphabetical order in the car and normal order when played elsewhere.
I presume these are issues with the cars software?

Same with mine. Most likely software issues that can hopefully be updated at some point.
