Finally I got fed up with BMW. I'm going back to Porsche. I need a manufacturer and dealer that actually cares and has the skills to resolve any problems.

Good luck, everyone, with your E70's. I wish you all better luck than I had.

The list of problems I had is below:



IDrive freezes during routine actions
-setting address
-scrolling music

Ipod interface really slow
-2-3 minutes to load a playlist

Backup Camera problems
-takes too long to activate when starting car (1+minutes)
-useless in low light

PDC doesn't work
-beeps constantly
-been in for this issue, not resolved

Backup Camera/PDC split screen not available

Handsfree phone interface not loud enough

Trunk unlock by remote sets off alarm, doesn't open trunk

Memory seat doesn't adjust steering wheel back to position
