I have the standard BMW radio system in my 2001 525i and it seems to have lost the antenna (or amplifier I suppose).
CD and tape work perfectly and the radio is OK in town but as soon as I am out in the country it loses signal.
Any comments/suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers
Tony

Guys - thanks for the comments.
It's a saloon and none of the radio stations on FM/MW/LW are available once I'm out of town so I'm leaning towards the amplifiers as the most likely cause.....
Thanks
Tony

Guys - again, many thanks.
Is the amp in the n/s, o/s or both C pillars?
Meantime I'm off to Ebay.
Have a good weekend.....
