I'm no auto-electrician and struggle even to wire in a stereo but have you checked the earth connection?

What?

That chap with big ears who meets that attractive woman who thinks he's been burgled - and he has to order cleaners?

Or that other lad who has a party and someone scratches the lounge table.

Oh - I get it, the man who said "it came with all the wrong connections"

It still cracks me when she walks back in the room and says "you'll never believe what they've done in your bathroom".

I believe you can get exchange dash units from BMW dealers to cure this. It might be worth checking Euro Car Parts before ringing your dealer. There is a service light resetting tool suitable for all models for about £15 by the way.
