Hey guys,
Thanks for all your posts. I finally cracked it but your not going to swallow this.
If you start IDrive and not the engine, Siri works very slow as previousl mentioned.
I was so long in the car that a display alerted me that the battery was going flat and that IDrive is going to shut down.
So I started the engine to channel charge back into the battery. I then continued to use Siri and much to my surprise it responded to me instantly. Could not believe it. So I tried a number of times again just to satisfy it was ok and again working very quickly.
So hey don't get caught like I did and waste mountains of time sorting it out.
I guess that is what these forums are all about.
