What Owners Say
"Screen went blank multiple times mostly on startup. I was able to fix by pressing the volume button in for more than 10 seconds which rebooted the entire display. No problems recently. Maybe there was a more permanent software fix transmitted to the car."

Anonymous, NY (2024 BMW X5 xDrive40i 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)"s/w is 8.5 NOT 7.0 as checked. very buggy. fails at least once a week. forgets seat setting (2 people) which means unable to enter car to get into it. then forgets all settings so have to reprogram all settings (seat, heads up display, mirrors, steering wheel etc) also loses voice control, and iPhone settings and radio settings. BMW haven't helped with issues."
Anonymous, VA (2024 BMW X5 xDrive40i 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)"s/w is 8.5 NOT 7.0 as checked (wasn't an option). has trouble with 2 iphones and regularly forgets which phone is in car. forgets all setting associated with individual phones. have reset this so many times that we can do it without the useless help line. Have found work arounds ourselves after 9 months. Updates haven't helped when we can get them to work. usually have to reprogram everything again."

"I really dislike that all controls for the vehicle are in the screen. When it goes blank or freezes I cannot even turn on a heated seat or adjust the climate controls. I wish automakers would stop moving controls to a touch screen and leave physical buttons."
