"electronic malfunction - driving not possible. please drive to nearest BMW dealer"

Anyone have this message on their idrive?

came up while I was driving last night .


2005 525i

 

I had that come up on me once about a year ago. I was in the middle of a 200mi trip, so didn't have much choice but to keep going. The code went away after I pressed the 'car info' button on iDrive. It's never come back.

No codes stored on the OBD2 system, and the dealership never found any issue. I'm thinking mine was an electronic fluke, hopefully yours is too.
