My Ride: 2004 530i PDC / ADAPTIVE XENON HEDLIGHTS /FOLD DOWN REAR SEATS / NAV / PREMIUM / COLD WEATHER / EURO REFLECTORS /STAGGERED CHROMED 124S / PIAA 4700K FOGS / BLUETOOTH RETROFIT / REAR WOODED LIGHTER PANEL/MP3 RETROFIT
I had poor reception particularly when I had the rear defroster on(moist conditions),Turns out that the rear glass had to be replaced because the the antenna and the rear defroster being in the same glass became fused by the moisture which seemed to be something that they were well aware of and they replaced the rear glass under warrenty, big difference for the better in the reception.

I think that sometimes FM reception is TOO GOOD! 
Some areas in Finland Russian and Estonian radios come through! Specially south of Helsinkin I can find several Estonian stations and there is Bay of Finland in between!

I have a 2005 530i and have noticed that the radio reception is very poor. My wife (poor thing) has a Kia Sedona and the reception never has a problem. Anyone else experiencing poor radio reception and know the possible fix?
