I though I could repair myself by replacing the hard-drive. The head unit uses an automotive type hard-drive that because of the world chip shortage, would cost close to $1,000 to purchase. No guarantee that was going to fix the issue.
I own a 2016 X3.. I've learned the hard way that BMW's are VERY expensive to repair.

You can replace the head unit HDD with a SSD...
I've been wrenching for 50 years and haven't found BMWs any more expensive to repair than other high end luxury vehicles.
