What I mean is, I had multiple problems when I first got the car with the idrive randomly rebooting, I took it in and the dealer couldn't replicate and didn't do anything and it went away for a while but now just recently it has consistently been rebooting, sometimes twice per car ride and I've had other issues relating to bluetooth, USB and the rearview camera in the car which all relay to the idrive headhunt however it wasn't the exact same problem.
I don't know what to do. I'm tired of scheduling an appointment every month to have something fixed on my car but at the same rate, it's not always the exact same issue and often times the issues are so intermittent that the dealer can't replicate the problem anyway.

The laws are state-specific. In CA, 18 months is the key time period from purchase date, and the dealer only gets 3 chances to fix the issue, 2 if it's safety related. Start taking photos/videos of the issue when it occurs. Just get on the phone with a good lemon law attorney and they'll tell you if you have a good case. An experienced one will also tell you what their experience has been with BMW vs. others. The attorney should have to get paid out of the manufacturer's settlement so they have nothing to gain by taking your case unless it's solid.
