Well I cheaped out.... Actually it was lack of patience that also did me in. I ordered the sat radio for my 530xi but not premium sound... Now I'm starting to regret my rush/frugalness...
So, just how bad is the stock radio for listening to sat radio and music in general? I must admit, my stock stereo in my current 02 530 has always sounded fine to me...

Standard US system is fine for FM and CDs. However, the AM reception is awful. As it has been with every BMW since they began putting antennas in the rear window.

I totally agree everybody who love they L7 system, but I have listened far more wors audiosystems in my previous cars. I'm rather happy for standard system and was not ready to pay almost 2000? for L7. At least not that time!
