Second BMW Model Lacks AM
« on: August 21, 2014, 2201 UTC »
A second electric BMW model leaves AM out of the dash.

A high-end sports car from BMW now available here, the i8, also leaves AM out of the tuner.

We noted earlier the i3, at a much lower price point, has an FM-only tuner. HD Radio is standard in both the i3 and i8.

Press reports indicate the automaker made the decision after experiencing interference to the AM portion of the radio from the electric motor in other models.
