My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
16 K on my car with only 2 glitches.
1-Loose the RDS and have to reset.
2- When calling on the Bluetooth, the person(s) I'm calling hear a lot of static. Other than that its been ship shape.

My Ride: ActiveHybrid - fully tricked out
Model Year: 2013
Lesse - I've have mine since Sept.
By the definition given- something that happens occasionally - my glitches have been:
- nav rebooted twice - dealer reload of software seems to have fixed
- reload also improved cold weather acceleration
- parking sensors think there is something there when temperature outside is below
freezing
- pressing trunk release for 2 seconds doesn't open trunk but sets off alarm. Always
nice for the neighbors when I'm leaving the house for an early morning flight.
- radio preset ghost visited once. Lost everything after the software reload. Re-added
stations. Old presets returned the next day. Hmmmmm
- cup holder pops out only when it feels like it. It's been replaced - with prejudice.
(added later)
- start car, press controller to get past nag screen, shift controller to select something
and press controller. Selected item comes up but I can't select anything. I have to
hit menu and retry item.
Glad to see so many reporting no glitches.
Had a chance tonight to go "the long way" on the drive back from the airport. Clear road,
a little fast, stereo up loud, lotsa fun. I love this car.
Cheers.

My Ride: Alpine White/Biege 545i, CWP, Nav, Active Steering, Auto Step ordered 2/1/05
CD player keeps playing (for 20 minutes or until I return to the car, which ever comes first) after turning off the car and removing key. Received software update, and it still does it. After getting the update, drove home, turned off the car removed key and I-drive screen was still on and stereo still playing (weird). Had to restart car and turn it off again to "shut the system down".
Car will revert to radio source even though I was listening to a CD last time I was in the car, this has happened several times.
Puncture tire warning after 2000 miles of ownership!! Oh, crap that was real!!
