I'm currently driving a 2008 Audi A4 though and have a question re the radio text.

The Audi radio shows more than just the radio station. For example, Radio 1 will tell me which show is currently on, what track is currently playing and who by.

The chap at BMW said that BMW doesn't offer this. (a comment backed up by a colleague who drives an E90).

Can someone please confirm if this is the case?
Was intrigued by this as I had it in a recent hire car (Vauxhall Insignia) and thought it was really cool. Hoped it would work in my new F30 and it doesn't seem to.
Just been out to the car to have a play (and read of the manual) and all that is displayed is the radio station name. Tried several stations and no further information such as artist or track name was displayed.
Now it may be that the data for this info was not being either transmitted or received but I don't think so, but will give it a few days and a bit more playing to see how I go..
