Brief description of radio
For the E87, there are four radio levels as optional extras.

In addition, the navigation system Business (M-ASK) and navigation system Professional (CCC) can also be chosen. Different audio system can be combined with the radios. As standard, the stereo system is fitted with all radios (no external amplifier).

Audio program
The audio systems in the BMW 1 Series are divided into 3 levels:
- Stereo system
- HiFi system
- Top Hi-Fi system
The audio systems differ in that various sound pressures can be achieved or there is improved system linearity. The stereo system consists of 6 loudspeakers; the HiFi system or top-hifi system consists of 10 loudspeakers and various additional amplifiers. The central bass speakers are located under the front seats.

Antennas
Rear-window antennas and a roof-mounted antenna are used in the E87. The rear-window antennas deliver the signals for the reception of FM. The roof-mounted antenna receives the signals for the telephone, FM and AM. Antenna diversity is fitted on the Radio Business CD and Radio Professional or higher. Antenna diversity contains the antenna amplifier. Antenna diversity switches the antennas for FM.

The Radio Professional is a new radio for the MOST framework. Alongside the Multi Audio System Controller (M-ASK) and the Car Communication Computer (CCC), it is another MOST master controller. With a built-in Radio Professional or higher, a MOST bus is also available. The Radio Professional forms the gateway between K-CAN and MOST bus.
