I've been looking into this and there are a couple of places offer this as a retrofit. It's expensive however -you need the antenna & amp & the tuner/bracket, with coding & a MOST harness it will cost £1k. Still want it? smile

It's not worth having anyway in my opinion, it's only BBC channels I seem to get available in the Glasgow area. FM is far better and seems to be of similar quality??

I have DAB on my E90 M3.

Sound quality is excellent when locked on to signal but it often loses signal - so much so that I sometimes end up switching to FM or AM.

Normal AM is pretty poor reception, but when you are listening to the Sunday afternoon football in crystal clear DAB, and it loses signal at a crucial stage point in play, DAB is not so good...

I live in Surrey and do most of my driving in areas I would have thought that the DAB signal should be strong.

Agree with above, DAB on my E90 M3 is great when it works, but can be a pain, the M1 especially as some zones it just drops for quite some time, you can set it to rever to FM when DAB not available, but it's not seamless and quite iritating. Certainly not a dealbreaker for buying the right car in my view.

Hi fellas I know this post is really old but I'm hoping one of you can help. I've recently put a double din in my e90 but since doing this my fm signal is pretty much gone Any ideas?

Do they still have the power line to the antenna? Had the same problem in my e36 and needed to connect up the power to the antenna.
