However when you do a search on this new part number one search on the ETK says it is for Oceania

and the other says it is for Japan

So therefore it could be wrong, but the service section of the radio says it is tunes to Oce, but it counts in multiples of 10MhZ.

If it was replaced under warranty, then go and see them and get BMW to fix it.

An AM radio that tunes in 10kHz steps is simply WRONG for Australia.
Compare to every other BMW in the country and you will see that all other BMWs tune in 9kHz steps

As it is a warranty issue, make a complaint and demand the dealer fix it.
