i am returning my 2009 335xi tomorrow ( picking up an 11 335CAB ) and want to erase the stored information in my idrive. i dont want the next owner seeing all the destinations in the navigation, cant figure out how to delete everything. a buddy of mine picked up a used 535, and he had all the previous owners info in the system

any one know how to erase or restore system to factory defaults ?

Sounds to me like you don't want the wifey seeing where you go? haha JK, there is a reset procedure, but im not sure if it clears the data.

Try going into your idrive settings menu and clear all data. That might work?

yeah my new 335 had the home address of the previous owner. Looked it up in google maps. Nice place!
