Hi Everyone,

Stating last week the iDrive on my X5 restarting continuously. It boots up, stays for couple of minutes, restarts (probably crash) and goes in a loop. When it starts all functions seems to be working fine. I was able to isolate the issue to Navigation DVD drive. If I pop the Navigation DVD the crashes seems to stop.

The Navigation had issues for past couple of years especially on Hot days it used to error out with failed to read map data so I am guess something messed up with dvd rom drive that is causing iDrive to crash.

Is it easy to replace the DVD drive as I am sure dealer is going to charge a lot to diagnose the issue and fix. If it is relatively easy, where can I get the replacement drive and how do I swap. Any ballpark cost estimates would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance
