Check Engine Light; No messages in iDrive

Got in the X5 this morning. Check engine light stayed on. No other messages and iDrive indicates no problem. Car seems to be running fine. Checked gas cap to be sure, and clicked there it should be.

Anyone else seen this?

P.S. My Weather Widget disappeared and weather is no longer an option to re-add....

I am too dull this morning to find the post, but one must update apps OTA then the weather widget can be installed again.

This is just after a dealer software update. All he has to do is hold down the volume knob for 30 sec or until the idrive shuts down and restarts. When the idrive comes back up the weather will be there.

I was referring to this post that in response to one of your posts: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=24

I had a similar episode post delivery (with 11/2018.43) where the weather widget would not appear and I had to update the apps OTA and it came came to life.

I was then disappointed that it was not like the F15 with 3 days so NH_F36 explained I could just use a voice command to give detailed reports.

I understand, but rather than doing all that you can just hold the vol button and reset the idrive and the weather widget will come back. After the dealer update you lose all your apps on the app page. That's really the only reason you need to re download the apps.

He wanted the widget to give him the 3 day forecast like the old version did.

I had this happen too. They did a software update and fixed it. I haven't had any problems with the new software.

Check engine light hasn’t come back on after the update. That’s the good news.

The bad news? Not only did the update not fix any of the other issues, but I now have no apps (weather, Connected Drive, etc). Nothing brings them back—rebooting iDrive, update apps, etc. BMW is clueless, although in the process of trying to fix it they also removed the car from my Connected Drive account, so now we can’t even remote start or anything (that had been working, oddly enough, despite the app being gone from iDrive).

My X5 came from the factory that way! I didn’t even have to bring it to the dealership to accomplish this.

I have software version .43 (but others with .43 have all their apps).

Check engine light came on for me on the way home. Remote start hasn't worked all day, either...

FWIW... mine coming on three months after taking delivery was due to a one-time malfunction of the radiator vanes/flaps. Others here have reported similar issues with these, in some cases requiring replacement. My issue was resolved by Service properly re-seating the kidney grill.

Same issue with mine. Took about a month for the Radiator flaps to arrive from Germany.

Mine was the lower radiator flaps, behind the front bumper. They replaced the part fairly quickly, three days total service time. And upgraded me to 03/2019.35 too.
