Electrical Malfunction

2013_Estoril_335i · 12-09-2017, 09:25 PM

Hello All,
My car (2013 F30 335i) has been having pretty severe electrical problems over the last 2 months. Whenever I drive, the idrive system reboots every couple minutes. The music goes off and the lights inside and outside the car flicker off and on. Sometimes the steering wheel locks up for brief periods, and once the car died at a stop sign. I have relatively limited electrical knowledge of my vehicle, so I am not sure what to diagnose here. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I am thinking about starting off by replacing the battery, but I am worried it could have something to do with my JB4 tune. Thanks!

Salvage car? Water damage?

The car was certified pre owned when I bought it a year and a half ago, so I do not believe that to be the case

If it's a CPO have your dealer figure it out, you already paid for the privilege.
