Not all BMW owners are happy with HD. A human mind combined with the
ability to speak words and invent stories is an interesting thing.

difficult to hide from your history, or what other people REALLY
think!

"I hate being scammed. Sorry if I ranted but this crap makes me angry.
And shame on BMW for allowing their electronics infotainment partners
to sell them on such a lame idea. Save the money and put an LSD in the
E82 as standard equipment - that would make a lot more people happy."
" if you find it going out of sync, you can disable the HD radio and
you will be good... Back in December there was a brief time where it
was out of sync and the occasional dead air for 5 seconds... I
disabled it for a few days, never noticed it again... but in all
fairness I seldom listen to the radio."
"this is true... and there is a good reason it's free, it's not that
good, especially on a non-nav car.
It may not sound that good because even the upgraded stereo system on
my 2010 135i is not that great a system (for the money)!"
"It would be better if the preset would select either one or the
other, instead of switching to digital any time the signal is there."
