i5 M60 Boost Paddle not working

Looking for advice. Any thoughts as to why my boost paddle on my i5 M60 suddenly is not working. I’ve used it many times now lately no error message just no boost. I’m wondering if I’m too low on state of charge I tried it around 50% and then around 46% both times the boost paddle failed to kick in. There’s no error message nothing.

I think it should work at both those states of charge. If you haven't already, I would try an iDrive reboot.

rebooting iDrive and fully charging vehicle did not resolve. I guess I will contact my SA

Funny Story....
In the 9,700+ miles we put on our i5 M60 before it was T-boned...we never once used the Boost Paddle. With so much speed and torque, never felt the need!

So...our car died a virgin I guess! LOL
