That is due to the cold.

Go to the bone yard and get another clock. The pixels can be repaied, but a used replacement is cheaper I think.

Pop the radio and the clock is accessable from the radio opening. Easy swap.

As to the last one, it sounds like the power supplying the radio is not sufficient (in the case of an up-rated system) or corroded if the radio is still stock. Check the fuses for corrosion first, then all wiring connections. I like to use Silicone grease on the fuse connections of my Land Rover to prevent corosion. Since the BMW never sees salt, I fortunately have no corrosion issues with body or electrics.
