Probably the radio went into self-protection (it does that for example after a short circuit). it resets itself after a period of time. have this happened to my own radio when i was installing new speakers.

The radio is cutting out intermittently due what is called edsherinitis this happens after over exposure to certain artists occurs and even the radio needs a f"""ing rest from it :thumbsup:

Check if you have an amp in the battery compartment (boot) and if there's traces of moisture ingress.

What you can then do is pray....
But first look for any moisture.
Do you know what factory stereo system you have?

Are you able to scan the car for fault codes? If not, most places only charge around ยฃ40 for this and its often a good starting point especially for an intermittent problem like this. Try and find a BMW specialist to do it though. I have the same system and found an amplifier bolted to the bulkhead behind the drivers seat.

My CD player quits if I've got the heater on and it gets too hot. I let it cool down a bit and it works again. Lately it's been cutting out for a split second here and there. Thought it was the CD jumping but played it again and it wasn't. I guess after 13 years it's probably gonna be one of the first thing to start going wrong. If it stops for good I'll pop a second hand one from the breakers.
