Hello and a Question

[jdm_atlanta]

First of all, I am new to this form. I'm excited to learn and share with everyone!

I recently purchased my first BMW - a 2005 X5 CPO 3.0 w/ sport & premium packages. So far I couldn't be happier with one exception...

Like many, the audio system has been a bit of a disappointment. A bit of background: I do not have the DSP / premium sound. I've spoken with the folks at BSW and am impressed with many of their offerings.

One concern that doesn't seem to be able to be addressed by BSW is the radio reception. The radio has TERRIBLE reception. I've never been in vehicle in downtown Atlanta and had difficulty picking up local stations! This is primarily happening on AM stations, but FM reception isn't anything to brag about. Finally to my question... Short of replacing my factory head unit (I am definately against changing the stock look), does anyone have any ways to improve my reception?

Thanks for taking the time to read all this and any responses are extremely helpful!
