Sometimes my radio broadcasts in FM become mono for a few moments and then turn back into stereo mode.
It happens every so often but not all them time, and it happens to an assortment of stations not just one.
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
I live in an area with a lot of mountains, I was thinking this could be it, but sometimes it has happened on the highway also.

Usually that's what happens when the antenna receives a weakend signal. Not sure if there's something wrong with your antenna system or if it's something resulting from your terrain, etc.
If the stations are strong ones (and in NJ, I imagine there are a bunch of them), yet it happens in open areas, you might want to have things checked out...

In my first 100 miles I noticed something similar when I was driving in an area with lots of hills and power lines. Mine was switching from normal FM to HD and it was quite obvious when it jumped back into HD mode. Probably just depends on what other interference there is in the area. But definitely have the dealer look at it if on an open highway it keeps switching.
HD radio is nice. The wife has SAT in her MB but I don't like it since going through a tunnel or driving slowly under an underpass it losses it's signal. Quite annoying when you are listening to the comedy channels and miss the punch line!

I live in the hills of Southern California, and I encounter the same thing all the time (except with Sirius) it sounds more terrestrial than an issue with the L7.

It's going in for BMW assist transmitting issues (maybe its all related) on the 29th of Dec so I will mention the problems to the service advisor - thanks for the input.
