My Ride: 2013 M5 - Sakhir Orange / Black Leather.
Default

Within the last week, I have intermmittingly been unable to receive FM broadcasts. A couple of stations seem to work, although the signal is weak. It's almost as if the antenna has been disconnected. As I said, it is intermittent, leading me to think it's a software problem. Anyone else have this issue? Nothing new on the car recently, and the dealer hasn't touched it in months.

Yes, I have the same. Very intermittent and can come and go maybe twice a week out of 7 days use

I've had problems too in the UK whereby the FM reception is becoming so poor that stations are being mixed and I have to retune. The RDS system is not retuning it automatically for some reason?
