For the most part I use the pdf manual for reference and to post pictures of I-Drive. I assumed that it was the same as what I had in my glove box until.......
I read some posts from our very own Mr. Iceman that AFHK BMWNA never promised us MP3. I looked in the pdf manual and it seems he was right. But I could have sworn I had read references to MP3 in the manual. Well it is in the manual in my glove box. Please forgive the shitty scan but attached are 4 pages from my manual that reference MP3 capability on the indash CD Player.
OK so there is a one liner in there "currently not available" so they didn't promise it just teasing us.

But it says "currently not available" so I guess they are living up to their promises...

I think the weather band is only utilizing a local AM radio station broadcasting with a weather band. For example, I can hear weather on the weather band AND on like two tiny AM stations locally. So maybe your area doesn't have a small station broadcasting a weather band.
