My Ride: 2005 525i. 30% Huper Optik tint. Sirius.
I just had Sirius installed as well as the 16.2 update. When I called to activate I asked if I could apply my free year of service to a lifetime subscription (which is usually $499). After a coulple minutes of checking the operatior said that I could and the total for the lifetime would be $350. What a deal. She also informed me that I could transfer my subscription to a new radio up to three times, with the first time being free and each additional time costing $75. This seems like the best way to go if you are going to keep your car longer than 3 years.

The regular subscription after your free year is $12.95 per month. If you pay a year in advance you get one month free and if you pay 2 years in advance you get 3 months free.
Sirius Prices
Another thing. It usually costs $15 to activae your subscription by phone but that fee is inclueded in your year that BMW gives you.
You can transfer to ANY sirius approved radio according to the lady I spoke with yesterday. I made it a point to make sure I could transfer my subscription to a new BMW (or any other car with a sirius reciever) when I trade this one in. She said yes (free the first time and $75 for each additional time). I have heard of some variability in what some customer service reps say so If you are uneasy about getting a lifetime subscription, call and try to get something in writing or check out the web page. I have not looked at it very much.
Also, the sound is GREAT!! I never realized how poorly the FM stations here sound.

Thanks for the info and Welcome as well. Glad to hear the sound is great...I was a little concerned by another post that the sound was muffled sounding. Can't wait to get my car which is on a ship now....equipped with Sirius!

[/quote]I have SIRIUS in two vehicles and in the house. I do not have the maximum signal strength at the house so in heavy thunderstorms it can fade or drop out. Otherwise it is fine. Most of the time either vehicle is usually better then the home version. Audio quality can be better or worse than FM at times depending on signal strength, source content, etc. My elevation angle here in central Florida is probably less than 30 degrees, indicating less than optimum coverage, but certainly adequate. I posted a SIRIUS Satellite coverage map a long time ago for those folks that had questions about coverage into Canada.
