Literally a week from driving from Orlando to Atlanta to go see Jimmy Carr.

I hope you get there! He was hilarious when I saw him in the UK about 20 (!) years ago.

 

This is literally days after the 07.2025 iDrive update. I swear I'm gonna stop upgrading. Things were fine.

Doesn't mean the two are connected. Haven't seen any similar reports from this upgrade and statistically there is always going to be some people who are going to develop an unrelated fault within days of a software update.

Hope it turns out to be something simple. As we have seen from previous occurrences, the message itself is no indication of the problem and can be something trivial or something serious.

 

It's what happens if you see Jimmy Carr I saw him in dear old blighty a couple of months ago and very funny....

 

So they indicated something with the driver unit. Gave me a loaner for the next couple of days.

the loaner is a 2025 edrive40. It’s funny how my m50 feels different than this one. Including getting used to idrive 8.5

I drive an eDrive 40 with active suspension snd the rest of the M Sport bits. Over the last couple of years I have had base model i4 and loaded M50s as loaners for various service occasions. The difference between the base i4 and mine is huge... the difference between my car and the M50 is subtle unless you stomp on it. I understand "getting used to iDrive 8.5. They put the buttons in the wrong places!

 

Good luck! I have had this a few times. Worst one was five weeks at the dealership while Munich decided what to do!

 

Are you taking it to Fields in Winter Park?

BTW, Jimmy Carr played the Plaza Live in Orlando not so long ago...but if you're driving all the way to the ATL to see him, I'm guessing you're probably a super fan and saw him already.

Good luck and let us know the outcome..
