DAB issues
I have been reading a lot about the poor DAB reception on the BMW, something I also experienced. I am currently driving a 2017 Mercedes C300 and the DAB is amazing. Travelled from Reading to Padstow without losing the station I was tuned to once.

Mine's a bit hit and miss. Driving locally around the places I visit most often (Portsmouth, Southampton, Basingstoke and Bracknell) mine will drop out quite a bit. Yet I can do a 250 mile drive from Portsmouth to Manchester without it dropping out at all.
Not quite sure what the reason is, but my previous Mondeo's DAB was much more solid and very rarely ever dropped out. More often than not it's ok for me though since just about every journey I do is 50+ miles and it seems to hold up quite well on motorways. |

I wonder if mobile phone masts have any bearing the reception dropping out.
If the signal drops out at the same place every time it may be worth trying to see if any masts are near by. A lot of masts are not easy to spot though with some hidden inside advertising boards and on the roofs of churches and other tall buildings. |
