My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!

I thought it was a funny quirk. Has it happened to anyone else?

Happened to a lady 6er owner in Chicago. She attributes it to the cold, perhaps?

It happened to me once. It was not long after the software was updated, but it has not happened since. Not that I would necessarily notice it since I don't really look at it anyway. BMWNA, did you hear that? We don't read it, so please just do away with it!

I get this ~ once per month. Lucky me, my native language is German, so I won't do anything wrong or do any dangerous driving with the car while using I-Drive.....
