Random electrical gremlins

[musclecar70sfan]

Hey guys, anybody ever deal with mysterious electrical issues that disappear on their own? My F30 is a 2013 328i with a 6 speed and last week my left side speakers randomly stopped working for about 5 minutes (balance/fader were both in the middle) along with the warning chime, and yesterday the buttons on my steering wheel stopped functioning only for a few minutes as well. It's done other weird stuff like that before but the issues usually don't last.

Doesn't bother me too much, I like to think the car has "character" (lol) but is that pointing to a potentially greater issue? Just wondering!

Random electrical gremlins can be a sign that your battery needs replacing.

Hmm that's an interesting point. It still cranks with zero issues though

I have a 2014 428ix and just replaced my battery. Ista+ program update. Got numerous error codes on the new battery until I put it on the charger and got the battery replacement full of charge.
