I don't know about where you live, but around here, there are many places in cities and towns where the mobile signals are irregular enough to make IP service hit-and-miss. AM and FM reception are still more reliable. I suppose streaming could be done tolerably well, if the player had a huge buffer. You'd probably still lose it going through tunnels, unless the tunnels had mobile repeaters. Don't forget the substantial bandwidth cost (in $$$). The fact that mobile access is rolled into the purchase price of your EV so the manufacturer can keep tabs on you (EV ankle bracelet to complement your smartphone ankle bracelet) doesn't mean that you're not paying for it. All that said, I have to wonder about BMW. I don't see any excuse for skimping on shielding. The FCC will probably have something to say about that. In fact I wonder if they might be risking interference with emergency vehicle radios. Not smart.
