Try a hard reset. But it's more likely a hardware problem.

The e90 has a common problem with water ingress in the PDC module. Often it causes CAN bus faults and is unplugged as a quick fix. Have a look at the module. PDC is behind the trim by the battery in the boot.

Hi thank you very much,

1. It is the CCC drive and I think it is also an old software version. There were two scroll wheels that came with the car (One connected and one as a spare) both of which look perfect but both with the exact same issue which makes me think it has to be software. How would I go about hard resetting the idrive?

2. No there is no PDC module anywhere as far as I can tell. The car has been modified by someone previous to me owning it and they changed the bumpers to M ones. I'm not sure that the car in its original state had the pdc function but if i can get it working through the purchase of the module without too much complication getting it to work with idrive then I may well do it.
