Picked up my M240i yesterday but stereo problems!

I paid for the extra HK system yet somehow when I play music, it just doesnt sound right, it sounds like someone yelling to me through a tin can. I had the HK system in my M235i and it slapped. Am I going to have to take it back to the dealer I got it at or can I go to any BMW dealer?

You can service at any BMW dealership.

any dealer... BMW warranties the vehicle, not your purchasing dealer

I too have the issue. Its the Rear passenger side speaker for me. Im going to add felt tape cause thats what the dealer is going to do and rather have them not touch it.

You might be having an Apple CarPlay issue. Our X3 had an issue where CarPlay and the native BMW system were interfering with each other. Hasn't happened on my m240 though.
