I don't even think there is a volume knob on mine. I usually use the steering wheel control unit. Need to double check tomorrow.

I have lived with this problem for about 2 years now. It sucks, but thank goodness for the steering wheel volume control. The biggest kicker? You can't just buy a new knob, I've tried that. Its attached to the head unit so if you go to BMW the only solution is to buy a new radio which will cost about $2,000!!!!! I laughed my way home.
