On your first problem. Check Climate on idrive. If you see red bars beside the Driver display, there's your problem. Select it and turn it down till you see only 1 white bar (Closed).

Learn the iDrive by using the manual, it's worth it.
I'm sure also the radio problems can by fixed with iDrive settings,
you maybe have not stored the channels right.

I had the radio problem just over last weekend. I was up in Palmdale and had the car parked oustide in 37F weather for about 10 hours. When I returned to the car and started it, I receive an iDrive message that said the battery was drained or low when the car was not running and that if the problem persisted to visit a service center. All my stations were gone and my trip and car data screens were reset along with the trip odometer. Weird! 
That wasn't the exact iDrive message but it was too that effect. Anyway ever experience this?
