 Sirius worth it?



I'm thinking of adding Sirius to my '06 530i. The dealer quoted me $700 installed. Do those of you who have the sat radio think it's worth it given the programming? Also, I've noticed the sound quality appears to be significanlty worse than that of FM or CD - why?

I have sirius and the signal/sound quality is better than FM, and about the same as CD....
I like the variety and commercial free is really neat....
My vote YES

Are you serious? Pun intended!

The Sat broadcast is incredible. Much better than FM IMHO.

Only issues is when the signal is blocked, (overpasses, tall trees, etc.........)

One very nice benefit, is you have free access to Sirius from the web... on any computer with internet access. I listen to it (to and from work) and while I'm at work. Love it!

IMHO Sirius is better than FM, and almost as good as CD. Also, no more static, or poor reception on road trips.

I don't think you can even compare XM or Sirius to FM. The programming blows aways anything FM does and the channel choices are very extensive.

You just can't beat commercial free programming.

Well, NEARLY commercial free programming.

Yes, Sirius is far better than FM and I wouldn't hesitate to get it.
