I would also check the "Radio Module" , if i remember correctly it is somewhere in the spare tire area. Make sure it is not wet!

i think bmw's have 2 antenna's. one is the antenna diversity and there is an fm/am antenna. check to see if it's properly connected behind the head unit and also at the rear antenna.

check this post out. it may give some insight.
