I just bought my '04 545i a few weeks ago. A few days ago I started it up and the iDrive menu never came up. It gives me that screen you get right before the "Warning" "Press ACCEPT" screen appears. Is there anything I can do about this other than take it to the dealer? Is this a common issue? Is this the kind of issue for which they might need to update my software?

If your car is still warranty under 50k miles or certified pre owned you should definitely take it to the dealer. They would fix that for you with no charge.

Thanks for the replies!!
I went out of town for a few days and came back fully intending to hop in the car and drive right to the dealer. But when I started it up VOILA! the iDrive came back alive. I guess it just needed to rest for a few days while I was gone. Weird.
