First, try holding down the power button for 10 seconds to force a reboot of the system. If that doesn't work, you can also try disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it.

Another option is to use the reset button located in the fuse box. Check your owner's manual for the exact location and instructions.

If none of these solutions work, it's best to take your BMW XM to the dealership to have a professional diagnose and fix the issue. The idrive system is a complex and integral part of the car, so it's important to get it properly fixed.
