So this is what 1-series is as I understand;
Cheapest BMW and it feels that way
I have the same problem. They've replaced the aerial and done some tinkering but they say it works as per manufacturer spec and that interference is normal. The radio and the response has been a disgrace. They told me the issue was localised to Australia. Apparently not.

In addition to that there have been all these little issues with the car. It's been back at least once a month for things to get fixed for the last 6 months.
