My CD keeps playing even when I push the mute buuton, no sound, but it keeps playing thru the songs to the next tracks etc. Is this normal, is there no way to stop it were I want it resume in the future?

That is not correct operation, that is a real fault. Through the ages the following faults were addressed:

The following software errors were corrected with the release of CIP 19.01.00 (Target data Status E060-05-09-530).

The audio keeps playing if the vehicle is switched off for up to 3 minutes (until vehicle enters sleep mode). The audio cannot be switched off with the rotary knob. Only vehicles with CCC (Car Communication Computer) are affected.

The following software errors were corrected with the release of CIP 16.1 (Target data Status E060-05-03-520).

Audio off or mute mode is not stored on CCC vehicles after sleep mode. Affected vehicles: E60 (5 Series with CCC), E63/E64 (6 Series). Refer to SM B65 228 04.

Hello JS. Yes, my car does what you describe some of the time. CIP 19.01.01. Our cars are computers, and standing behind them are programers. So, I just expect "little" stuff like our common problem. But, I will pursure a "big" computer issue.
Hi vnod: long time no chat?? . I know what you are saying, but after paying 60k for my car, I expect things to be without issues. On the other hand, I understand anything mechanical is liable to fail, so it's a catch 22. It's just annoying/irritating to see such minor bugs.

Getting to the software question, I think we take software issues too lightly (i am talking in general about software and not the folks on this board ). It's unfortunate that software companies can put out products that are buggy and unreliable.

( btw, check out iceman's post from sometime in Sept on the mp3 capability, apparently CIP 20....!!!!!!)
Yes, hopefully CIP 20 on MP3. And, I agree about software. I just have gotten used to feeling darn good if my software exhibits only "little" problems. And, I know the software companies are not going to change short of boycotts of new releases--which won't happen. I do think that BMW is behind the auto software curve regardless. How hard can it be to give us the MP3-capability promised?

Well not just the MP3 issue, but look at the list of bugs/problems reported with each release. Things on the car that did work, won't after upgrade, doing the upgrade itself often results in destroyed hardware components (CCC, DME, TCU, etc), and failed, incomplete or aborted installs as the dealers do the upgrades. Really poor validation process IMO. We appear to be the code verifiers and testers.

Right, MP3 was just an example. As you confirm, BMW is indeed well behind the software curve. The software issues, IMO, are the only real issues with the cars--which really is an avoidable shame.

I have the exact same problem in my 06 525i. After I mute it, it will hold the track for a couple minutes, but then it starts to continue playing (muted) track after track and then the cd starts all over again! It is frustrating!
