Crossposting from the new car thread I saw the new M5 Touring in the wild in Vegas!    Bunch of calibration equipment in the trunk. I also asked them to bring the M3 Touring here lmao.

Well thread, I replaced my car. With... The same thing. Okay, I gave up the heated steering wheel and headlight washers for 19s and adaptive suspension. But it's otherwise the same car with 30k fewer miles.

I was toying with the M440xi GC, but I realized I'm not that keen on owning a B58 with a hybrid motor tacked on out of warranty, at least, not being on the early adopter side of it. 19" RFTs and the suspension on sport was a bit of a rough drive home through Philly last night. It really doesn't help that PA roads are absolute poo poo right now, but that was... jarring.

I just had the local shop do the oil pan gasket on the E36, which had been leaking like the Exxon Valdez. I came out this morning and found this.  and this.  I politely wrote the shop and asked if there is some expected seepage from a new oil pan gasket or if it takes a moment to set up. (It doesn't). I'll clean it up and run it again later this week and see if the leakage continues.

In the process of redoing my customizations, I put the driver's glovebox back in:  This meant the off button for the blind spot warning had to go somewhere, so once again, VHB taped to the inside of the steering column:  You can still reach it if you want to turn it off, but I'm not sure why you'd do that outside of a track? Or at all? Anyway it's still there if needed. The dealer logo was like a vinyl sticker of just the letters, and an adhesive bandage removal wipe from the kiddo's medicine cabinet loosened that right up, pretty happy it came off without needed compound or polish. Also went through and turned off the startup warnings etc. While I had the light switch out I trimmed the tabs for rear fog lights, I'll have to program that in at some point soon. This all started because I put the rear seat cover back in and installed the new car seats. My to do list may end up swapping the wheels between the F30 and the F36. 19s with runflats really are brutal, we'll see if they survive day to day. At least I have a set of square 18s with all seasons in the shed I can just chuck on for winter. This one clearly got some sort of update at the dealer, I checked it with MHD and the DME needs a bench unlock, the last one was just ready to go. Kind of interesting. I did proactively replace the coolant expansion tank cap, since that was my issue on the prior car. Not bad for two days.

My 2016 M235i (non nav) idrive keeps randomly fuzzing out and saying "no signal" on the screen. Then it goes blank until I turn the car off completely for a few minutes. When I start it up again, it works like there was never a problem. Anyone know what the gently caress is going on?

I'd start by checking loose connectors to the screen, probably more likely to be that vs a dead screen. You can find replacement screens on ebay for ~$200 if you think that might be the issue.

No, I've tried searching bmw forums, but most of the posts end with "so I took it to the dealer and they did something", but I was hoping that someone else here had the same experience and could offer an actual real world solution. It's not behaving like its the screen, more like it's something with the idrive/head unit. I only say that because the stereo cuts out and I get a "no signal" on the screen before it goes totally dark. I upgraded the firmware, but that didn't seem to fix the issue. I'll start checking connectors, like you said. Maybe that's what's going on.

You need to pull the codes and see if there's a clue in there.
