Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 2006 BMW 530

The idrive navigation screen goes out and keeps flashing. At night it's a big distraction - as if a flashlight hits your peripheral vision intermittently. There are many who have faced this issue or are facing the same problem. This is a manufacturing defect in my view. I think it's about time that we, americans have a sharp bite as far as foreign car makers create expensive repairs due to its own failures. The main issue is that idrive control - ac - radio - navigation and very importantly heat and warning messages. Without it working you can't know what's wrong up to a greater extent. Most of the cars important aspects are controlled by this computer based system.
