My general impression is that BMW has significant software issues with iDrive 7 (just read the X5/7 or 3 series fora). We are a bit of a beta tester here with the latest edition of iDrive. Wireless CarPlay integration is finicky and for no reason or pattern will disconnect on occasion. The wireless charging matt (great idea in concept!) runs too hot when used on longer drives when the phone is used in connection with CarPlay/Waze/Nav, forcing you to remove the phone from the charger to avoid overheating. ConnectedDrive does not update for extended periods of time etc etc.

Now the M40i is a great driving car but when you advertise all these electronic features they better work as advertised.

Another thing on mine: I have condensation water in one side mirror (blinker). I read that that could cause the blind spot detection to short out. Hence, I will get that one changed when getting first oil change done.
