Need a HD radio? Get one for free if you buy a BMW

HD radio, the standard that is slightly more exciting than shoelace technology, is coming to more BMWs standard.  The 2009 6 and 7 Series already had HD Radio.  Now the Z4 Roadster, the 1, and 3 Series will get HD Radio standard.  BMW joins Ford in pushing HD Radio. 

Don’t know anything about HD Radio?  Let’s fill you in.  The HD does not stand for “high definition.”  In fact, it used to stand for “hybrid digital,” but now it stands for nothing in particular.  The name is a trademarked term for higher quality audio like 5.1 surround sound sent over the air.  What does this really mean?  If your town has a HD Radio station and you have a HD Radio receiver, you get better audio quality.
