I had a big WTF moment today in my Z4. The car started by itself TWICE while I was just sitting in it. The first time I had it running, but turned it off by pushing the start/stop button. When I put my cellphone in the charge tray, the car immediately started and I didn't even have my foot on the brake. So, I shut the car off by pushing the start/stop button, while thinking WTF just happened?!! I pulled my phone out of the charge tray and the car started itself again! Still no foot on the brake pedal either!
I do have a digital key on my phone, but that doesn't mean it is supposed to start itself automatically. The physical key was in my pocket. I don't think this was a case of auto engine stop either because my foot was not on the brake. The car was not in gear, it was in park. The only other thing I can think of was for some reason the parking brake/auto hold was on and I turned it off. That shouldn't affect anything though. Rob |

I think these issues would be related to the front facing camera? Cruise control no longer worked and the green safety halo turned orange. After several kilometres the issue appeared to resolve itself.
Sorry about the glare, I still have the protective film on the touchscreen until I can source a screen protector. |

I would definitely bring it into the dealer. Even if they say it's just the mobile network connection, I would want to get that reassurance (?) - or get it fixed. |

Full screen map display issue
For some reason my full screen map display now permanently shows map menu options on the right hand side of the screen -
Any idea as to how I can remove this menu from the default view? |

Airbagmodule shows under the dash passengerside
Hi,
Yesterday I noticed for the first time that you see a small part of the shape of the airbagmodule under the dash on the passengerside. It shows more when the sun shines on the panel. I find it strange that I didn't notice this sooner but that may be coincidence... I would like to know if this is normal,anyone else with the same issue here? |

Getting a Blind Spot Monitoring error every 5 minutes.
Turned it off for now since the pop up was getting annoying. Also noticed the side view (passenger side) mirror was not dimming last night. Software version 7/2019, car had its first service 2 weeks ago and dealer did not update.

Does this happen when you press Map in the center console or do you swipe to a widget? |

Until a few weeks ago the map was full screen but for some reason the options menu is now permanently visible on the left hand side of the screen. I've exhausted all settings options but would rather know what's caused this than performing a full reset and risking this happening again. It's not a major issue by any means but I always like to know what's going on |

Window Leaks both sides
Took my brand new Z4 to touch free car wash. Both windows leak. Is this common? First BMW. Porsche cabs did too but not nearly as much. Yes windows were all the way up and the top was closed!
