I just picked up a 2016 328xi and am having an issue with the radio/entertainment system. about half the time when starting the car the radio is not functioning and there is a loud static that cannot be lowered with volume controls and no audio changes will be recognized. No matter how lon or short the drive, the radio does not come on and the same volume static remains. Even after powering off (shutting off engine and all power) the noise remains even after I close and lock the doors. Upon restarting the car, sometimes the radio and system work fine, sometimes I experience the same issue. Anyone have any similar issues? Of course when at the dealer srvice dept the radio worked fine, when I got home it acted up again.

Take a video of the problem and bring it back to the dealer.

I had the same thing happen in a friend's 428i. I researched it, and the culprit seems to be the AMPLIFIER for the audio system is malfunctioning. In the 4 series, it's located in the left (drivers side) side of trunk.
