Bluetooth Issues
Do I need to update my bluetooth? (2013 E70M)
Sometimes the bluetooth system has issues connecting to my phone aswell as displaying music track information. I usually have to switch between media selections to try and get it to work correctly. Also after playing music it sometimes begins to crackle, kinda like static, but more digital feel. I have to then disconnect my phone using the idrive and reconnect it for it to go away. Maybe its my phone, maybe the idrive bluetooth module needs to be updated. Let me know if anyone else has experienced this. I had similar experiences with my 2011 e93 335i which had a similar idrive. Other solution is for me to switch to apple and connect my phone via usb. Or buy a cheap iphone/itouch and use spotify through that. The link below says my vehicle is up to date: https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html

I feel BMW's system is seriously flawed. The bluetooth in my 2013 Ford Focus is light years ahead of my wifes 2013 E70. Considering the price difference of these cars when new, that is upsetting. I have zero issues in my car and never have. She is constantly having to connect/disconnect/reconnect to get things to work. We both have android phones.
I haven't looked much into updating the system but I think it is possible; though I am not sure how much it will help. |

It's frustrating that it does that but I'm so use to it now I just accept it as a flaw. The driving experience makes up for it.
