Well that should be your stating point. Switch cable then check wiring and connector. It's a wired system so not much can be causing it

All the way to the back of the iDrive connector. The wire should be good. I think if anything it's a connector or cable issue. Maybe the pins inside the plug wore out.

Had similar thing happen to a customer's car, it ended up being the mode button on the steering wheel was sticking and causing the source to change. Hope that helps.
