Radio doesnt show artist or song?

FM radio doesn't show the artist or song id? It shows up on Sat radio, but not reular radio. Am I missing something?

When has FM Radio ever shown anything like that? Even RDS only transmits the station name

My new Escalade shows it. My GT-R showed it. Heck, my 2005 Lexus GX 470 shows it. No clue why a brand new 5 series wouldn't show the song name and artist. I believe my 335 (2008) did it as well. I just thought there was an option or something within the I-drive that could enable it.

I have a 2011 550 and the radio stations I listen too show the station, song, and artist in the upper right corner of the i-drive screen. It is a scrolling display, not all information shows at the same time.

Shows you what I know. Scrolling text can be done on FM, and the reason I didn't know is that it's illegal in the UK on safety grounds. You live and learn.....

Care to share a photo of what your display looks like? Mine just show all available stations.
