Alright, well the stock stereo worked totally fine a few months back. After sitting in the garage for WAY too long, battery went dead. Recharged, now the stereo is not playing correctly.

If you put the volume at maximum, you can hear the music, it just sounds like its at the lowest possible setting thats still audible. I checked the amplifier in the trunk, couldn't find any fuses on it...

You guys have any ideas?

Completely stock system from '91 m5

Ive heard that the best thing to do is sell your M5 to me. That should solve the problem.

volume knob on the radio corroded.
turn off radio, turn off car
get a bottle of contact cleaner
pull the knob off
spray in the post where the knob came off
push open the tape deck door
spray in sideways towards where the knob is
turn knob from off to loudest and back a few times
let dry for about 15 minutes

you should be ready to rock

I believe. The guy is over on roadfly too. May have been a 94, but I thought they made a 95 euro M5 right?
