hi i have a E90 325i with standard stereo but just recently the stereo keeps cutting out like the music stops then starts again, even if im playing a cd or have my iphone hooked up aswell at the radio... its becoming very annoying and wondering if anyone else has had a problem like this any help would be much appreciated

I am currently having the same problem, but have not figured out why it's happening yet. Mine only happens a few seconds after startup.

I have a 2011 323i and I have a weird problem. The both AM and FM stations sounds 'tinny' in the morning when I start the car if it is cold in the morning (like 3 Celcius and lower). I think the radio signal strength is strong, its just that it sounds tinny. The USB audio and phone sounds fine.

After driving for about 1/2 hr, turning the car off and then turning it back on again, it sounds normal.

I am not sure if it has anything to do with the tint I got installed, but if the tint was the issue, I would think that it should be a consistent problem.

My guess is that it has something to do with moisture since I park my car outside and there is condensation in the morning. Perhaps after driving for a bit, whatever condensation there is goes away and then it works ok?

Anybody else experience this before?
