Does the M2 have an AM radio ?

Does the M2 has an AM radio ?

I've looked on the forum and on the internet but I cannot find the answer. AM radio is very usefull in big cities for local traffic information and I know that some BMW (7 serie for example) do not have an AM radio. So I'm wondering if the M2 has one.

Thanks!

AM radio stations

The M2 comes standard with one year prescription of satellite radio so I'm sure you can find local traffic info and news stations.

It is what I've seen on the car oriented TV show. That was the only negative thing about the 7 serie in the show, all the others comments where very positive.

Not really because here in Quebec we speak French and what is available in satellite radio is mostly in English and naturally we prefer to listen things in our own language, which is of course available on most stations on the AM band.

Note the BMW electric i3 is what you may be referring to. Hard to imagine the M2 without an am radio. Maybe the 10K MSRP dealer bump on M2's includes a sony walkman.

Yes, it will. The stereo system, including the NBT-EVO series head unit/iDrive interface, is the exact same one as used in other 2-series models, which has AM radio.
