However, if you didn't give your car enough time to shut off completely then the next time you restart your car, it will just bring you straight to the main menu (in my case the driver profile selection).

Basically, I only see the M animation screen when I start the car the next morning.

As mentioned by another member, I guess BMW cares more about giving u access to the iDrive system instead of showing u an animation screen.
verified to work with pp on all 16 and newer 2ers for the m animation, doesnt work on a 15.
