has anyone experienced dashboard malfunction yet?

[Ferdampedochmal]

currently at end of breakin and happened twice so far. once at 1000km and tonight at 2200km. near the same area in (a rather large) town

while driving, all dashboard functions (all gauges, HUD, etc.) suddenly go lights out and shut off, only to be turned back on again, then shut down again, etc. -- this repeated like 6-7 times, while both stationary at traffic light and whilst driving

this is my first m car so not sure if this has been a common issue of the past? couldn't find anything like this on the net... any inputs would be greatly appreciated!!

660 miles . Never seen that before.

Yes mine did that many times. Just go back to your dealer and reload certain firmware. My dealer claimed that it is SatNav related. Try to drive without turning the map screen on

Dealer it--this is certainly abnormal but with so many electronics packed in the car this kind of thing happens. FWIW my M4 has been perfect thus far but back in 08 I bought a new 135i and its iDrive straight up failed to the point where I drove it 80 miles to the dealer with the whole system constantly resetting itself. Windows might have a blue screen of death but I can tell you BMW has its own red screen of death

happened for the third time at 3030km... this is really annoying. taking it in to the dealer as they said it might be an issue warranting CIC(?) replacement.

Keep us updated...have 1500 miles on mine without any issues.

sorry to derail the thread: mine isn't the dashboard specifically, but my idrive screen intermittently goes black and displays "No Signal", then comes back on after a minute or so. Both stationary and while driving.

Its probably from the recall. Sounds like they need to install the can resistor. I heard funny electrical stuff like that can happen, and the "can resistor" is probably the culprit. I believe there is a thread on here somewhere but I couldn't find it.

Have the dealer check if your VIN requires the CAN resistor recall. Qiuck fix
