How long was it offline? I have this happen to me like once every 2 months or so. My understanding is that something just causes iDrive to reboot and the display shows "No Signal" while it's offline. Always comes back on in 1-3 minutes for me. I asked the BMW service guys about it and they said essentially that - something must be causing an iDrive error and it reboots to correct the issue. They said they would have to go through the entire system to try to diagnose the issue and that none of the iDrive stuff is covered under my CPO warranty so I just deal with it. I also have the ASD bypass installed on the amp and I know they would try to tell me that was the problem even though I experienced this issue long before I installed it.
