I noticed today on the BMW(UK) site that you can now order DAB radio as a factory-fitted option (?280).

My dealer checked with BMW(UK) and currently no retrofit exists.

I think I'm glad!

Aah I see I tried to configure my vehicle and didnt see the option for it.

However I did notice that they have not listed the non SE models anymore. All I see is SE and M Sport. Have they stopped the other model range.

I always wondered who bought the base model and I think BMW too agree. It was a ?310 difference for 17" wheels, auto dip mirror and PDC. Only a fool would skip those on a car that costs so much.

Has anyone taken this DAB radio option on their cars? How's the reception in the UK. Someone was selling the DAB radio modul Part No. 65 12 9 119 355. Wondering if you can simply buy it and plug it in. What do the retrofit experts think?

Bruce,

I thought you were the Retrofit expert !!

I'd be interested to find out though. Hmmm

Might it be worth a post in the DIY or Discussion section??

Mike
