My screen keeps going back to the welcome screen - like when you first turn the car on.
The latest development is that the GPS doesn't work. When I go to navigation, it's just stuck on the screen saying 'navigation system starting'. The rest of the idrive functions work though...as long as it's not rebooting lol
I did have the GPS problem once before actually, and it was a reboot that fixed that particular problem.

Do you remember how long the service was to replace the 12V?
Replacing the battery didn't take long - I believe it's as simple as a normal car (except you need two technicians to lift the bonnet/hood) and it is a bog-standard lead/acid battery.

I'm sure they will want to diagnose properly, that could take some time but I would steer them towards checking the battery first and if it looks shaky I'm sure they will want to replace it as a (hopeful) quick fix.
