Have you tinted your windows? If so, did you use a metallic tint? If you did, you will loose most of your AM reception due to the metal in the tint interfering with the antenna in the rear window.

I did tint the windows (llumar), I don't know if this is a metallic tint. I did notice that the radio reception deteriorated after the tinting, BUT it was already poor before the tinting.

Here is the BMW service bulletin regarding poor radio reception. I am glad the bulletin points out that your windows should be clean. java script:emoticon('
