The part of the article I found disturbing was BMW dropping AM altogether. Besides Rush and Vickie McKenna, I want traffic reports, I want a signal when I am driving through North Dakota and Sakatchewan.
It costs NOTHING to have AM in the car receiver. Maybe the antenna has to be a little larger for decent range. This was a decision made to project a certain image.
I don’t want to have to pay a monthly fee for news, traffic and talk.
I want AM in the car, oh and bring back a straight bench seat option while you are at it.
It's not all BMWs, it's just for electric cars where BMW engineering was not up to the task of reducing or eliminating the electromagnetic interference coming from their electric motors and associated circuitry.
“The part of the article I found disturbing was BMW dropping AM altogether.”
Wow. Why don’t they just include a “complimentary” (and mandatory) lifetime subscription to NARAL and GLADD when you buy their car.
Freepers that are good actors could have a lot of fun with BMW - show up at the dealer, go all the way, about to buy the car, and then ask “oh yea, I forgot, let’s go back to the floor so that I can listen to your AM reception”. And then walk out, after telling the dealer that you won’t accept an aftermarket mod, as they generally are not reliable.
“I want AM in the car, oh and bring back a straight bench seat option while you are at it.”
And running boards and a crank starter...
