I had the same problem after updating the maps and I was told that I need a new idrive.
After playing around with it for almost a month I think I have found a fix without changing the Idrive. My idrive use to reboot every few minutes however haven't had a single reboot for last 8 days after the fix .
Since the maps update was crashing the system I realized that the closeup view of the maps put extra processing load on the system causing it to crash .I changed the view to 1000 km and no reboot or crash since then .
If I try to use the navigation it does cause the crash as the view changes to 50 km from 1000.
I hope this can help other fellows and save the cost of Idrive and or head unit
