the startup of the iDrive begins as soon as the car thinks you’re going to take it for a walk, so often, if you’re slow to hit the go button, the animation has run, without lighting the screen, and the main screen comes up directly.
so if you sneak up, quickly open door, jump in, hit the button, you’ll see most of it.
i base this not on documentation, but on careful experimentation, a half century of working with computers, and wild guessing.
