See my latest posts on X6 problems. Had my rear screen replaced due to FM interference issues also had DAB dropping. Possibly this? It's not as flash a system as you would expect anyway.

I'll take a look. I do have window tints, wonder if that's the cause !

It will also depend very much on whereabouts you live. If you are more 'remote' or in hilly country then your coverage may not be so good.

I found on a recent trip to the 'valleys' of Wales near Merthyr (the car was locked!!) that the system was mainly running on VHF FM rather than DAB, but I do have the auto switch-over selected on the iDrive. Of course that does depend upon an equivalent VHF FM station being available - which there isn't for Planet Rock!

Was stuck with Radio 1 or 2 some of the time.

Yeah I always lose it going over the tops (M62 highest motorway in UK)

You don't get a very good standard radio reception cutting through the moors either.

It happens to me a lot around my home, where it's hilly, but not when I'm in and around work where it's flatter!
