Take a pic and post it here.
Go to Service menu and check for the error message. Tell us what it says.
THE MESSAGE ON THE I DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEM READS :
: DRIVE CONTROL SYSTEM.....DRIVE MODERATELY
: START OFF ASSISTANCE INACTIVE

IT COMES ON AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THERE IS A LOSS IN THE POWER ASSIST IN THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING . THE ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT SEEM TO WANDER ALL OVER THE PLACE AS WELL

Fweiss seems like we got the same problem, my idrive says exactly that on top. But my adaptive headlights are fine.
Well imma head to the dealer for a checkup if I find out the solution I'll keep you updated.

Is the bulb burned out perhaps?? I had a Nissan when I lived in Japan with an annoying light on my instrument cluster and come to find out, one of my brake lights was out.

My car is going in the dealer on Wednesday so I'll keep you posted. I called and ask the service advisors and they said it could be a few things. Either my ABS, stability control etc, but I will keep you posted.

WELL , MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE YESTERDAY....SINCE THEN THEY HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING POSITION SENSOR & UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE WHICH TOOK OVER SIX HOURS TO DO .....PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT FIXED . THE SERVICE MANAGER NOW THINKS IT NEEDS A NEW MODULE WHICH THEY COULD NOT ORDER UNTIL I SENT THEM A COPY OF MY DRIVERS LICENSE , WHICH I DID IMMEDIATLY. SO IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE BEEN IN A LOANER AND PATIENTLY AWAITING A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP.......I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED

I don't mean to be niave, but why would they need a copy of your DL to order a new module?

MY SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT IS THE ONLY WAY BMW WILL AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR . I AM ASSUMING THE PART IS FAIRLY EXPENSIVE AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PART IS GOING INTO THE VEHICLE IT WAS INTENDED FOR ..........DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO WRITE BOGUS WARRANTY CLAIMS TO COVER NON WARRANTY REPAIRS IN VEHICLES OUT OF WARRANY......I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WAS A WARRANTY CLAIMS ADJUSTER FOR PORSCHE & AUDI IN THE 1980'S....IT IS ALSO A GREAT WAY TO COVER REPAIRS ON USED VEHICLES ON THE LOT WHICH WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, WHICH IS COMMON PRACTICE IN MOST SERVICE DEPARTMENTS
