DAB+ radio no signal resulting in drop outs

I am having issues with the DAB+ radio on my m140i, the signal drops out intermittently resulting in no radio. At first I thought maybe there is poor coverage in the area I live but I was driving my wife's X1 also fitted with DAB+ and it doesn't have this issue of multiple drop outs.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with their digital radios?

Our F20 seems to have rather good DAB+ reception, and also quite seamless switch to FM.

Do you have front and rear dash cams fitted? If so, it's possible these are leaking EMR which is blocking the DAB signal.

Mine does it in the exact same place on my commute, gotta be a coverage issue or at least how the BMW system works. Apart from
That mine has been faultless.
