All BMW radios, such as this Alpine-built radio for BMW original installation shown at the Detroit auto show, will accept an outboard HD Radio tuner as of spring 2007.
BMW announced multicast HD Radio will offered across its entire model line this spring at the same, factory-installed $500 price as on the initial models. It will now be available on all 2007 3, 5, 6, and 7 Series models, the X3, X5, and Z4. The announcement was made at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

These will all be multicast models, meaning they’ll receive a station in analog, its digital counterpart, and up to two additional digital programs (different programming) all on the same frequency.
