Driving down the road listening to music on my ipod, all of the sudden it just stopped playing music through the speakers. It turned back on after about 5 minutes and then kept shorting in and out with a popping noise through the speakers each time it would stop. I turned the car off and on, messed with everything in the cabin while parked. Made sure cables were connected to the amp in the trunk, nothing! Back seats were folded down at the time if that matters. Similar problems anyone? Please help

1st Scenario
The noise you are decribing can be from the driving gear from one of the electric motors could be worn down in which case you will have to get it replaced the best place to get a cheap second hand one is at a scrap yard.
2nd Scenario
If the trunk still wont open then the loose cable you are describing has snapped you will know witch cable because if the roof lid is open check for a button on one of the right lid catch which tells the car the roof lid is now closed and secure so the trunk is now allowd to open. If this is the case replace the cable.
To alastair bda if this does not solve your problem I have sent you an e-mail with further questions to investigate your noise problem. I will be waiting on your reply.

It is the Final Stage Unit/Blower Motor Resistor - changed mine and the problem never came back. After two tows and drained batteries. Most mechanics don't seem to put this one togther - you have to demand it. Funny because it is a VERY COMMON problem in BMW.

It sounds more like the alternator is bad. This will cause the battery to run down.
