Thank you for confirming the noise, at least I know I'm now diagnosing the issue correctly.

As for connecting it directly to the BM54......... HELP?

Could you possibly point me in the right direction as to how I can accomplish this? Would I be correct in one of my earlier musings as to be able to splice into the adapter cable from round to flat pin? I did plan on adding the clock module in if I could find the relevant information, and the adapter loom seems ideally suited to it as I can work on it away from the car.

I freely admit mucking about with wiring is an achilles heel, so any foolproof info appreciated

Right ok i`ve found this on the BMW X5 Forum!
small white plug (on BM54) X13598

Pin 2 white/brown audio common for 6 cd player
Pin 8 white/red audio left channel for 6 cd player
pin 9 white/blue audio right channel for 6 cd player.

A.F.A.I.R. there are a couple more connections, pos,neg

I can`t remember(sorry).

Honestly it's been quite a while since I did it, but I did as you intend to, splicing into the adapter from round to flat pins so the original car loom is still intact (didn't want to make changes to the car loom in case I, or someone else, would have wanted to revert it back to original).
I remember just picking up the wiring matching diagram between flat and round pins systems and splicing the adapter where needed to get the audio/ibus/power/gnd wires for the Intravee.
The 3-pin and 6-pin plugs for the Intravee were sourced from eBay.
I have the clock module as well.

Cheers Scoubix & Neil, I'll study the info and if I feel brave, I'll give it a go

AH HA!!!!!!

By jove I think I've fixed it! I was pondering over how best to tackle this, browsing the forums and posts and started looking at the Rover 10 to BMW 6 & 3 pin adapter / loom I had.

I was looking at cutting it so I could splice it in, when I decided to check the wiring and see if I could work out which wire was which. It was at this point that I realised that some of the pins had been populated incorrectly - things just didn't seem to match the pin allocation on one of the threads.

Not being the most confident I checked it over a few times and finally decided that I was correct, some pins were in the wrong place. I then started wondering if that was the cause of the issue in the first place, so I went through step by step and moved wires around until everything made sense and matched the guidance I had found. Then, nipped out to the car, plugged everything in and.........

SORTED!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!!

No more Ibus noise and a much more stable display, everything now seems to be working correctly which I am really pleased about.

I was so chuffed I decided to wire in the clock module that I had, and again, just took my time, double checked everything and that is now in and working correctly too!

Double WOOOO HOOOO!!!
