[MystroX5]

I wanted to report a new message I haven’t seen yet. I typically get a good signal to my X5 inside my garage. But now I have 10” of wet snow on my garage roof and when I went to start my X5 in the garage, the iDrive displayed a “No sigal” message and began to reboot itself. After reboot weather, news, gps all loaded up fine displaying updated information. I am impressed I even got a sigal with that much snow insulating my garage roof . Has anyone else seen the “no signal” message/ auto reboot? My guess it was snow related as I have never seen this.

Nope. Not seen that, but I have open air where my car is parked. Maybe that's a self-healing procedure in the car if it notices the signal low.

That was my guess. I have played around with this car so much since delivery before Christmas that I kinda know what’s a “normal” current bug. This particular one was a first. No other car with satellite services would ever get a signal with this much snow on my roof. I’m actually rather impressed with how BMW uses their antenna.

My paved driveway is a sheet of ice now and (after football) I am gonna take the X5 out and see how it’s 4x4 traction system responds to my hill.
