UK guys. Try something for me (Radio issue)

[Z4andy]

Guys try this.

Put your radio on am and select a program. For example my radio, program 1 on am is five live (909 mhz).

Switch off the car and leave over night (or at least until car goes into sleep mode). When I start my car again it reverts to frequency 531mhz (nothing here just static) and I have to push prog 1.

My last E89 didn't do this and the new one does (dealer even tried my old car to check).

Stealer has fitted a new radio and it does it occasionally now. The loaner 3 series was the same.

Not the end of the world but BMW are baffled

Are you sure that you used the same key? If you used different key, the key memory would change the radio station.

1st thing dealer asked. Yup same key.

Dealer stumped.

I tend to listen to Real Radio http://www.realradio-scotland.co.uk/ which is an FM station.

Is it just an oddity with AM stations?

Mine works fine, listen to R5 all the time it always comes back on straight-away. Im assuming you are storing 693 into a preset once its tuned in?

AM radio?? Do you have a stack of cassette tapes you want to listen to as well? Not heard of people listening to AM radio in years

Z4andy - checked mine as requested and it works fine.

Ok cheers guys.

Mine even with the new radio is still doing it . Just hope it isn't a sign that something else may be up with the programing side of things in the new builds.

As they fitted a new radio I now have a rattle in the dash and it's driving me nuts .

Also spotted that the offside rear lamp has water in it (I thought they fixed this). I still have a judder in the brakes when the dct picks up the drive at stand still.

Wifes 1 series goes in tomorrow as some low life scumbag has keyed her car, so I will have a stern chat with them in the morning.

The roads have also been getting a good dose of salt and I usually refuse to take my car out when this happens (use the van instead) so this might not be sorted for a while.
