That said I have nothing but goodwill with my SA as he made it so for my update to 07/2020.60 with no static whatsoever once I explained it was a feature enhancement available to all iDrive 7 owners.

I am also guilty on all counts including being a perfectionist at the frustration of the wifey, although after 20 years she's become one of late (yes gents it can happen
). Getting the message my vehicle will shut off when driving is beyond disconcerting but thankfully if the vehicle is driven often or kept on the trickle it does not occur. The weird thing is my CTEK made BMW 8 step trickle charger is doing weird things even after replacement and I'm betting the software bug is creating some kind of occasional current draw, thankfully even w/o being on the charger the car cranks quickly and fires right up.
