Could be any number of faults ranging from minor sensor failure to, as the car describes, complete electronic failure. Let the dealer check it out before you get too upset. Might not be as bad as it seems. Either way it'll be covered under warranty.

Annoying I know though. My iDrive computer had to be replaced in the first month as it failed completely. Been fine ever since though.

bmw are known to have problems with their electronics. That is why i did not want to get the idrive or any auto or heated seats or any premium audio package offered. So far my car has no problems what so ever and plus i saved a bundle by adding portable gps in my car.
