How do I reset the iDrive system on my BMW i8?

I've been having some issues with my iDrive system on my BMW i8. Is there a way to reset it without having to bring it to the dealership?

One way to reset the iDrive system on your BMW i8 is by using the emergency reset buttons. First, locate the two buttons near the air vents at the top of the iDrive screen. Press and hold both buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the screen turns off. Then release the buttons and wait for the system to restart. If this doesn't work, you may need to bring it to the dealership for further assistance.

Another way to reset the iDrive system is by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. This will force a hard reset and may solve any issues you are experiencing. However, make sure to have your radio code handy as it may reset as well.

If neither of these methods work, it may be a software issue. In this case, you may need to bring it to the dealership for a software update. They can also check for any other underlying issues causing the problem.
