Question: When you install Sirius Satellite Radio on the 2006 5 series sport wagon, does the IDrive display automatically show station, artist, and title on separate lines? If not, how do you view the artist and title? (It is easy, or does it require a cumbersome series of idrive commands?)

I'll work on snapping a few unless someone beats me to the punch.
In top-level iDrive view, you can see the station listing, that appears down on the left where the source/CD number-track/radio freq, etc... is listed. To get to the actual station, song, and artist info, you have to select through the genre and station portions of the menu tree to bring up that information.

If you've got your favorite Sirius channels on presets, do you get the artist and title automatically as you select each preset? Or do you need to navigate through Idrive menus/choices before you can see the artist and title?

I haven't set presets for Sirius yet, so I can't answer that. I do know that unlike the MP3, which will navigate to the track and info when you hold the iDrive knob in the direction of "Entertainment", when Sirius is playing the act of holding the knob in the direction of "Entertainment" takes you to the top level (genre) and you have to navigate to the channel you're listening to to see the info.
