I will be selling the Z4 shortly :(

Before I do I want to clear the idrive of stored phone numbers and addresses etc. I haven't' RTFM yet but is this easy to do?
 
I had a good laugh with a salesman the other day. He told me the car I viewed was owned by a woman her mid sixties. The hard-drive containing The Best Of Dolly Parton and Cliff Richards greatest hits I found proved he was no liar!

Could of been owned a gay chappy. :)
 
I changed my Z4 last year & cleared the memory prior to that. Can't remember exactly how, but it was easy once you found the relevant option!
 
I assume your selling privately or trading in to a non BMW dealership as BMW wipe the cars hard drive on ones with idrive prior to releasing the car to a new owner.....not sure why they don't wipe it before it's sold on. However best to be on the safe side.

Its just a case of going into the settings and performing the removal of the data but you can't wipe it all in one go, I believe and you need to do select to remove all phone numbers, remove all music etc. BMW can clear it using their diagnostics machine which also performs any software upgrades too.

Yeah, because all gay guys like Cliff Richard and Dolly Parton don't they. Good to see stereotypes alive and well.

FFS It was a joke, hence the Smiley. :headbang:
Is Jags being "ageist" suggesting that Cliff Richard and Dolly Parton would only appeal to "oldies" I'm nearing 60 and not offended in the slightest ?
