Do you use eSIM? Having that enabled seems to push the US head unit’s to their bresking point. It’s an issue with DHCP from the iX’s internal wireless network which is controlled by iDrive on the head unit. If I didn’t use eSIM, I would rarely need to reboot iDrive, but I’ve learned to live with it since rebooting it can be done while driving.
