Speaking of presets, I think it's time we once again bring up how silly it is that BMW only limits us to 12 -- especially for Sirius when there are so many channels to choose from -- there's no limit as to how many presets they could allow us to have with a simple software change, right? As I've said a million times before, they really need to just give us a bunch of presets and let us program them any way we like. For example, I could have preset number 1 (out of, say 75 or maybe out of an unlimited number?) be an FM station, preset 2 be another FM station, preset 3 be a Sirius station, preset 4 be an AM station, etc. This is 2007, right? Why do we need to be limited to presets per band as if the radio had mechanical preset buttons like 1940?

Okay, rant over, hijack complete...

Just to add my $.02. Sirius was my most regretted option. The cutouts from trees and overpasses was intolerable. BMW said everything checked out and I didn't renew after the free year. The audio quality is not great - mp3s sound noticably better on the Logic 7 system. Sometimes I think FM sounded better. Anyway - you said that you weren't an audiophile - so you probably won't care.

I agree the above poster - XM no way.

You got a free year? Did everyone else?
