12,000 Mile update
just a small update @ 12,000
some quirks I would like to report. I get a BSoD from the Idrive every once in a while at start up - haven't taken it in yet some noticeable turbo lag - to be expected and of course I'm starting to notice Fuel Pump Problems. but honestly overall, I'm quite happy with my car. Brings me joy and impresses my clients I plan to keep it for a while, so thank God I got the extended maintenence warranty plan lol Happy Motoring and Many Many More Miles to come .......I feel like im missing something else, but if I did I'll edit later

Ryouken, have you had your car in at all to get software updates done?

I think the first update I received fixed the video playback issue on the rear seat entertainment system I had posted about shortly after I picked up the car. My dealership updated the software of the entire car with the latest version available at that time. The second software upgrade was done when BMW issued the recall on the spark plugs on the new 4.4l TTV8 as found in the F01/F02 750 as well as the E71 X6 50i models. They updated the entire car after which I had to put all my settings back into the car since I did not do a backup of my settings onto a USB stick... The 3rd software upgrade was actually done because I had come across a rather odd issue with the new navigation system that I discovered on a trip to my in-laws. The navigation system kept telling me to use the off-ramp to get of the highway turn left and immediately turn right to get back onto the highway. It kept doing that a few times until I turned the voice commands off... When I talked to my SA about this issue, he told me that they had a new map update and wanted to know if I would mind if he updated my car. So I told him to go right ahead with it Last time I took the same trip up to my in-laws, the system no longer asked me to leave the highway, so the last software update definitely fixed that little quirk Not sure what else these software upgrades changed or fixed. I am actually going to call my SA tomorrow to find out if they have another software upgrade. I had found a software bug in the iDrive controller and reported to him about 2 weeks ago, so I want to follow up with him to see if BMW has a fix for it already. I'll let you know what I find out tomorrow...

So far I haven't had any major issues (other than those minor software bug issues I have posted about).
