Do you experience any of these glitches?

My SA has advised to bring the car in for a day so they can look at these things (that's when I asked for a software update which they do not perform unless there is a problem that needs to be addressed).

So before I do, can you guys confirm that you DO or DO NOT exhibit these glitches. Or if you had them, were they fixed?

Thanks.


1. Sometimes when I pull out of my garage in the morning, the computer will somehow mistakenly dim the white dash illumination into a barely visible, darker tone of gray, making the dash look not only less clear but almost "dead" (or dying). The red temperature display on the climate control on the central console is also much darker and almost invisible.
When I go to my car at lunch and start it up, things usually return to normal but a simple ignition off and on does not quickly fix it.
I've observed it three times by now. Adjusting the illumination knob does not help (it doesn't do anything).

2. Comfort access has a delay before it allows me to lock the car. I shut the door, press the stipe and nothing happens. Instead, I have to shut the door, wait for about 2 seconds, THEN press the stripe and it will lock. It is quite annoying as it simply does not permit closing the door, touching and walking away - one has to close, WAIT, then touch and walk.

3. The iDrive screen forgets my last function intermittently. I typically have it set on the nav while driving and while most of the time it will display the same nav screen when I return to the car, 4/10 times it will not (it is basically random). Those 4/10 times will bring me back to the main menu forcing me to select nav and hide the left hand options.

1. no (turn off your automatic headlights and that might solve the issue)
2. yes (I feel like I have to arouse the handle in order for it to work)
3. Haven't noticed.

2: have your dealer check the battery and ad more juice. Had the same problem. After they charged the battery everything seems to be normal
3:No

No, Yes, Yes. #3, idrive, I've found that when I start the car and back out of a spot, the camera comes on then when I put the car in drive and the camera goes off, the idrive screen returns to where I left it. However if I start the car and drive off forwards and so the camera doesn't come on, often the idrive comes up at a top menu, not where I left it. I find the idrive having a mind of it's own a bit annoying.

No, yes, no... But having to wait 2 sec to lock is normal if you have soft close doors

No, no (no comfort access), yes either under hard acceleration or left turns. Dealer updated software and some sort of reset, although they claimed they couldn't replicate the issue... Useless in a word, now just accept it...

I hate the CA on the F10, my E60 was much more precise.

1. Yes. My instrument cluster also dims till it's barely legible - exactly as you've described. It happens quite frequently. I spoke to the service manager at my dealership and he said it happens when the cluster becomes too warm. Don't know if I'm buying that explanation though, because it mostly happens at first start-up in the morning. I too will have to leave it with them for a day; which will probably be quite soon. Please post the result after yours has been checked.

2. No
3. No

I have only noticed #2. If you close the door, it seems you have to wait until the soft close mechanism is done, regardless if you allow soft close or slam the door, then it will let you lock. I have the soft-close option, but unsure if the same thing would apply without the soft-close.
