I took the car back to the dealer and they ran a diagnostics check but we're unable to detect any fault. The salesman could hear the crackling and thought it was probably just a trait of the car but he didn't have another 8 Series with the B&W Hi-Fi to see if the issue was common to all cars.

Has anyone else come across this issue?

Many thanks

Something is definitely amiss as my 2020 M850i with B&W audio does not produce any sound whatsoever when the audio is muted with the engine running or when shut off. In fact the majority of the time I spent dialing the EQ settings was in the garage with the engine off. I was using FLAC sources on my SSD plugged into the USB-C port in the center console and during passages of silence in the music you could hear a pin drop vs what you are describing.
@bloozemanAZ I know this is off topic but can you please share your eq settings. I think you did once before but I can't find it. The other audio settings if you can also kind sir.
