Hey guys, I was wondering if Xm is no longer an option and whether BMW is now going with Sirius. I don't see XM as an option anywhere on the e90.

I didn't know XM was ever an option for BMW. They inked a deal with Sirius. But don't fret... it looks like the two networks have been holding merger talks.

XM never was an option on BMWs. But you can get a device called XM Direct which plugs directly into the Sirius input on stock BMW headunits and works as if it were the Sirius OE unit (except receiving XM of course).
I would expect that this unit would work on the E90 as it does on current BMW headunits.

I must be losing my mind. I thought I remembered both. Oh well.

I like the comedy channels on XM better then Sirius ... it would be great if they merged but wouldn't that be like cablevision merging with satellite tv
