My idrive keeps boot looping. I was wondering how i can fix it. I read up that i have to buy new ccc unit but it cost around 700. Any feedback i can't even do anything right now. It keeps restarting constantly while i drive. This 530i has been costing me a lot of money to fix but i love the car

 

I have mine in the shop for this right now. I will let you know how it turns out. I am hoping for the best of just reprogram but like you everything i read says new ccc.

 

boot looping is a common failure mode, as well as the DVD drive not being able to read anything. Usually it's down to overheating in the CCC... it's almost worth getting a CIC / NBT if spending that kind of money to fix the CCC. Unless you can find a cheap one online and code that in (no guarantees on that too!).

 

Is the CIC a year newer 2008-? Would that be new cic, cd drive, dvd drive, screen? Do you have do change the climate control buttons also?

 

CIC came on the E60 in 2009. Climate control doesn't have to change, if you have a pre lci then the facia that surrounds the climate control has to change, part number 51456976361
