When I purchased my 530xi in August, the previous owner had a Sirius radio subscription that he said he'd just let me enjoy until the subscription ran out.
Well, it ran out today, and I have to say that I think I'm hooked.
I didn't originally think that I wanted to pay money to have radio, but there are a few channels that I do really enjoy. I don't have an iPod interface, so I think I want to reup.
I looked online at the Sirius site and the cheapest deal I could find is a $7 per month ala carte for 50 channels, which isn't toooo bad, but I wanted to know if there might be deals to be had for prior subscribers, since my name isn't on their list. If anyone has any insights, please let me know.

i had sirius in my car and my tractor trailer. when i got the car i hooked up the series and had to pay an extra 8 amonth. once i got my system installed i quickly realized how shitty the sirous sounded compared to ipod and never used sirus again. so i canceld it in my car. after i did that sirius has not stopped calling me at least 3 times a day trying to give me a deal. last time they called i answered and replyed "lick my fucking balls" and hung up they havent called again

I just renewed mine ... no bargains out there! wound up costing me about $140 for 12 months for the total subscription. In addition to the come-on prices they advertise there is a music license fee and sales tax too (at least for us in NJ. I went out there looking for coupons etc .... No luck :-( And MrRebates applies to the purchase of equipment NOT the subscription.

I may try it. $77++ ain't too bad.

IMO I can't stand the sound quality of SAT Radio - it makes a premium sound system sound like crap. I'd rather burn CD's or spend that money on an ipod interface to get far better sound quality and not have to pay royalty fees.
With wireless internet blowing up the way it is I think SAT Radio's days as we know it now are numbered. You can stream it to a mobile device and tether it to your car (the F10 is already going in this direction)and get much better sound quality for the money you pay in monthly fees.

I hear ya, pukka...
All this may be a mute point. I lost my job a week or so ago, and so now the wife wants me to hold off on this until I pick up another one. Hopefully that will be soon.

Between my iPod adaptor and streaming Pandora, I really don't miss it.

Not me, I got tired a couple of years ago. They do play commercial free music, and it's uncensored, but they still play the same 8-10 songs over and over - YAWN!!!! I got a refund and bought an iPod

I just don't drive my car enough to justify for myself (short commute).
