My Ride: Metallic gray '05 545i Sport Black Leather with HUD, Step, Nav, PDC, CWP, K&N Air Filter, Black RPI scoop, Black painted calipers, 35% F1 Pinnacle tint, 19" RDSport RS-2F rims with Continental ExtremeContact DWs.

The other night, the iDrive went blank, and the system did a reboot by itself. Is this a sign the battery is starting to go on my 05'545?

just out of curiosity I wonder of those who have issues, how many have upgraded to a newer Navigation DVD?

I'm having issues (see other thread) but am using a backup copy of 2009 Professional Nav DVD. Maybe it is built in obsolescence?

My idrive blacks out at least a couple times every day just for a split and it does this at the very same road locations. I haven't taken it back to the dealer because I noticed that it happens at the very same road locations that I have little or no cell phone signal. Other than that it seems to work fine. I do not have navigation obviously.
