On the appropriate screen the X7 said I needed to log in to my ConnectedDrive account, even though I never logged out. Except, on the screen where I could log in, it was greyed out....

So I am thinking I may need to delete/re-install my profile, which of course is ridiculous. So I just leave it alone for now. Then today, two interesting things happened. The destination I sent to my X7 magically appeared all of a sudden (and I was now logged into the X7) and the ConnectDrive icon changed from the old one to the new "My BMW" icon. Everything still appears to be working fine with the app now, but this is seriously buggy...

I saw this same issue on the old app at least two times. Rebooting iDrive corrected it for me each time.

I've also seen it on the new app as well. Hard to say if the bug is related to the new app deployment or possibly the iDrive version. I'm on 11/2020.50 currently.
