This has happened a few times on X3/Z4 applications - DICE is looking into the cause of the issue atr this time. In the meantime, can I get the numbers on the bottom of the module (below the barcode) and the iPod generation/firmware version you are using?

Are you equipped with Business CD or Navigation? NAV is CD6/TRACk6, Business CD is CD6/TRACK4 setting. Be sure to return to CD 1 afterwards to exit text mode.

Thanks in advance.
Where is the module located in the vehicle? The DICE could be picking up interference from other devices in the vehicle. You can try relocating the wire to see if the noise is diminished or if you cannot find the source of the noise - a ground loop isolator must be used.

Some BMWs are more sensitive to engine noise than others. Here is a link to the version we offer on the website:

Let me know if you have any further questions.
