HD radio static...........
I would say that 40% of my HD stations always have some degree of static. The other stations experience static sometimes but not all of the time. I came from a Benz and never had static on any HD station.
I stream music from my phone, Pandora, MP3 and they are crystal clear. What have others experienced? |

I've noticed that the FM radio reception in my X1 is not as good as it is in my 128i.
Occasionally there is a bit of static and FM stations fade out sooner in the X1 when I head into the country away from the transmitter. The radios in both vehicles are identical (std BMW Professional CD MP3). I assumed it's because there is no external antenna on the X1 like there is on the 1-series.

The X1 falls back to analog more frequently than the E90 or F30. I believe it is due to the antenna array in the rear window. I don't get static however.
Only the convertibles utilize an external antenna. |

Yes, the radio reception is pretty bad. BMW need to put in better antennae!
