Bizarre problem...

I get in my car this afternoon and there is this awful buzzing sound coming from the rear speakers. Radio on, radio off, engine on, engine off, doors locked whatever it just keeps buzzing. $20 says the dealer doesn't find anything wrong tomorrow. Damn German cars and their weird electrical glitches.

I had that same problem right after taking delivery of my car. The buzzing stopped by itself after a couple minutes. Thank goodness as it was annoying! I've had the car 4-months now and it hasn't happened again.

I went back down to the garage after about a half hour and it had stopped. I'm not sure if I even want to take it in to the dealer tomorrow. I'm sure they won't find anything wrong.

I have had this 2 or 3 times. Not recently, though.

Had the same exact thing happen to me a couple months ago while at a red light. Freaked me out because I was smelling burning SOMETHING. Sound went off 5 minutes later and the smell was no longer there (I had my windows down, probably a car next to me at the light).

So it doesn't sound like there is a solution. It's just a weird gremlin.

I had the same exact thing happen to mine. It's happened twice since I've owned it (6k miles). The dealer had it overnight and you guessed it they couldn't find anything wrong. Both times it happened it was in the garage. I'm thinking it may have been some interference from the garage door opener or something else.

My dealer started an Engineering report on this. Engineering had them replace the amp. It has not been a problem for me since they replaced the Amp.
