I drive closing & resetting while driving

jzimmy · 10-08-2011, 05:35 PM

I picked up my new 2011 Z4is right before the Labor Day weekend and love the car, but I'm experiencing an issue with my iDrive screen opening and closing on it's own while driving. I read a little bit about this occurring to someone else in a thread from a year ago, but haven't seen this mentioned much else. Anyone else having this problem? I have about 1100 miles on the car, and have about every option other than a cd changer. It's starting to be annoying as it did it three times tonight on my 15-minute ride home from work. The radio cuts out, screen freezes, and then it folds down and then reboots. I hooked up my scanner to the car and see I have two faults listed under Business Radio / User Interface. My guess is it needs replaced and is going to be a long repair job...

But anyway, anyone else have this issue or know more about it?

Thanks

Your under warranty so just take it to the dealer.

Why haven't you taken it to the dealership yet?

The vehicle is under warranty....

I was simply asking more out of a curiosity if anyone else heard or knew about this problem. The car runs fine and now that the weather here is turning cold, I'm planning on taking it in.

535 GT did same thing.

Radio cuts off, resets.

Found out that it was module problem.
Should be Covered under warranty.
