I couldn't speak for the automotive limit specifically mentioned in this thread because I don't have a copy, but every BCI limit I have seen and the similar IEC 1000-4-6 technique requires some kind of amplitude modulation. The test is a low frequency radiated susceptibility/immunity requirement and as such should have the same kind of modulations as the RS/RI requirement.
