Hi guys

Recently my i drive menu has been playing up...at start up it takes forever to load from the inital BMW loho screen...once loaded, I cant navigate through the menu, everything is frozen..none of the buttons on steering wheel work...i cant even turn the radio off manually. I even tried turning the car off and the radio stayed on. At times screen went completely off and then came on.

After driving for 5 minutes everything seems fine...until i hit navigation..."error reading dvd", appears, so i eject the bmw maps dvd and reinsert everything is fine again, no problem.

Anyone suffered with this problem?? And how do I resolve it...

I've tried disconnecting the battery and connecting it back...no luck!

Cheers guys

Thanks mate, maybe i will have to get the egr checked make sure its not clogged up and give it a good clean..will check the air filter over the weekend. Im not going crazy tho hahaahaa it shouldnt be this bad right?

I know its winter but i always give 5 - 10 mins regardless of weather to warm the engine up before setting off and cool it down it...i spoke to someone in the car wash who had 525i and he was achieving 3mpg...inwas like WTF LOOL and he told me it was local driving...best i had not heard that....

Had it serviced month ago..everything came out clean..originally was bought of a auction, need to ring bmw to chase the history...its auto..will reset it.

Ive heard if the car doesn't warm up properly it can have an effect...

Hi guys I've recently bought a E60 535d its only got 80k on the clock so its not been around the world..when I purchased it off a friend mpg was stating around 27mpg, which is normal around town driving. But this driving it around town to and from work no more than 3 miles commute and the occasional 15 min commute on dual carriage way, I've noticed it just keeps dropping. Its currently at 23 mpg and thats conservative driving. Iv read other members getting near 30..i do like to put my put down and use the power once a week but it shouldnt be that bad should it?

Sny suggestions....cheers lads
