the lights on my radio illuminate perfectly sometimes and then other times the lines seem broken and some letters or numbers are incomplete. Has anyone any experience with this problem? I just bought the car from the US and BMW canada won't cover the warranty so i need help with this.

thanks

Well if it makes you feel better I have the same problem, but it goes away for like a week everytime my dealership resets the battery...

It always comes back when its warm out though.

I told BMW the dealership this and they just gave me a confused look, then reset the battery again and gave it back.

In for the answer.

Ok Thanks for the reply! i had a 2002 5 series a few years ago and it had a similar problem which i eventually solved by placing a small piece of card board behind the lighting panel. this put pressure on the lighting strip and everything came up clearer. i don't want to have to do it on this car if possible...
