I've noticed that if I hit a button on the fob to wake up the car as I'm walking up to it, and start the car like 45 secs later the I drive is booted up, phone connected, etc, instantly. If I wait and hit the button right as i'm getting in, or just open the door without hitting a button on the fob, the i drive boots slowly. I guess it takes a few secs for the car to come out of sleep mode.

iDrive is slow in general, especially more so if you have a lot of options on your car. Think of it as a computer. It has to boot up and load. Just like how your computer is pretty unresponsive immediately after booting your operating system. It's like it's loading startup items.

Only time I notice a lag in the idrive when the car is awake, is when I shut the car off for 5 mins or so when I get gas....then it'll be slow to boot back up for whatever reason. I've learned to just leave the fob in the slot after shutting off the car when I get gas....this keeps the i drive on

it doesn't have to be locked to go into sleep mode. I leave mine unlocked too in the garage, but I always hit the unlock button on the fob as I'm coming out the door from the house to wake it up, so everything can start booting up before I get in. When I hit the button, the fuel pump primes for a few secs or whatever the hiss noise is from the back of the car, and the amber light by the shifter lights up, which means the car is out of sleep mode. This always works for me.....
