What stereo do you have, base, the Logic 7, or any after market stuff? I don't think your issue is the norm.

In that case, I'd talk to a good aftermarket stereo shop. They should sell stereo power (capacitor) kits. Make sure they understand BMW electrical systems.

It all depends on what Amp you are using and how much current it's drawing.
