Re: Stereo
The sound issue sounds like the usual BM54 fault, you can get them repaired at places like here https://www.bm54.com, maybe speak to them about the screen turning off - I’m not sure if that can be attributed to the amp as well or not, I thought generally speaking the screen problems were caused by the ribbon inside that connects the screen to the chassis of the unit.

Re: Stereo
Cartronics repair them and Baris can upgrade them too, also repairs the Amps, maybe worth a call.
You may be able to send it to them for Testing / Repair. See their Website
A decent double din headunit would be my choice,( not a Chinese one. ) Kenwood or Alpine , the MK4 BMW unit is prehistoric now.

Re: Stereo
glad i found this as my nsr door speaking is not working could this be a faulty BM54 more so then a duff speaker .
Re: Stereo
Also check the large connector to the amp - called the quad lock - for any signs of corrosion or water ingress in the battery area. Both are known areas of concern. The amp is by the battery.
