Driver display shut off while driving

Anyone have this problem yet? Was on the highway going 70+ at night and the drivers display and head up display went black for about 5 seconds then rebooted. This is the first time the car has done it for me but wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Not exclusive to 3s, member in the G05 reported the same issue but did not reboot:

Instrument Panel Blacked Out https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1678134

My 3 week old G05 had the heads up display black out during a drive but came back on after sitting off for a couple of hours.

Multiple reports....see below....personally experienced this 3-4 times. Each time it has come back after shutting off the car and giving it a few minutes. No word on a permanent fix but I did report it to my service advisor incase it should go out permanently later on down the road. HUD provides all speed info so it didn't have much of an effect other than irritating me that a 65k car has these issues still.

My instrument panel went blank! https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1652168

My car has done this where the HUD disappears then on the next drive shows up. This was a one time deal so far. Another thing my car recently did was play music without bass even when resetting volume settings, dis/reconnecting my phone as well as switching to regular radio. Once the car is locked and sits for a little, the problems go away.
