My AM reception was greatly improved after I complained (after already being upgraded to 13.2) and had the following repair.
"BMW Servie Measure: remove third brake light assembly and perform bulletin measure B65 212 04
FP-NUMBER DESCRIPTION
65-20-6-958-359 TRAP CIRCUIT
I was told it had soomething to do with impriving the ground of the system. It has helped.

Hmmm... I'm going to ask my dealer about all this. I have had the AM radio thing since I got the car a few months ago and it drives me nuts. I listen to Sports Talk radio a lot.
They are ordering some new cable or harness thing that was supposed to help with this. But it is currently backordered. They did upgrade my software to 13.something and it has not helped at all. I also get popping noises alternating between speakers at louder volumes on all audio sources.
I need to ask my dealer about all this. This is good info. My car has been into the dealer 5 times about this.

I noticed a marked improvement in both AM and FM reception after V13.3 and the BT retrofit. Maybe the software or maybe because they connected the Fibre optic cable.

With the light grey interior, I guess she's right.
