Problems Encountered
#51
My 530i was picked up on the third at the PDC in South Carolina. I got it back to california with out a roblem. Last monday, the car died with an overheating warning. After being towed to the dealer, It was decided that the computer had had multiple problems and the overheating code was just one of many that had been thrown. A new computer is on the way. The dealer said he would do the Idrive update at the same time to fix the radio and CD issues. BMW has been very good about the repairs with towing and rental cars, but this is not what I was looking for in a $50,000 car.

Yes, iDrive is based on Windows CE for Automotive Platforms. [/quote]

Hi. My 530d had a few of the problems posted above. Active Steering, Aribag Indicator, CD. I have the "software service pack" installed a few days ago and none were manifesting since.

Hi all!
I had installed on my 530d the software upgrade just a week ago. It solved the airbag indicator and the random failure initialization of the active steering. But i still have a problem with the audio sistem.
I have on my car professional radio + cd changer + logic 7.
When i start the car the audio system plays track 1 of the inboard cd player, regardless of the audio surce that was playing when i leaved the car (inboard cd, cd1..cd6 or radio). It's anoying to hear the same song five times a day. I kind of solved this problem by not putting any cd in the inboard cd player but is this the way an almost 100k car should act?
Any of you experienced this problem?
