German Warning

sleepez · 08-04-2005, 06:29 PM

Here's a new one..Today after work I got in my 330i with i-drive nav. When first starting the car, there appears a warning message in the screen which you have to "accept". This message appeared in german! All other times; including this evening, this message has appeared in english. Very odd..I will continue to keep an eye for this happening again.

Did it say something like 'dumm Amerikaner' ?

Mine has done that once also.

I get the German warning probably every 20 starts or so. Is this by chance fixed by one the software upgrades?

LEDZEP · 10-16-2005, 06:58 PM

Probably "dumkoff" (or however that's spelled)

magmd · 10-16-2005, 11:45 PM

have not seen that happen in mine yet!!!

Broken1 · 10-17-2005, 02:05 AM

Surely, being the USA and all, you could accept the german message - drive your car while playing with idrive - have an accident and sue BMW because you can't read german so you didn't see the warning??

Mine has done this 2-3 times.

Good idea Broken1!
