Had similar problem on my car....Static on AM stations became unbearable. Apparently, there is a service bulletin out for this problem on the new 5 series. The problem stems from the antenna lead wire coming into contact with the metal of the roof where it connects to the radio antenna amplifier - located under the roof headliner near the rear window (antenna is in the rear window). BMW now is suggesting that dealers wrap the lead in cloth tape to prevent such interference. Doing so solved the problem in my car.

Hope that this helps.
