There is a software/firmware bug with the Sirius since an update was download over the satellite channel many years ago.

I finally was able to get the Sirius presets to work in my E70 after A LOT of searching and some trial and error. Even the info I found on line was not 100%.

What I recall was I had to disconnect the Sirius module and/or MOST interface. I may removed a fuse or 2, do not recall 100%.

But I also found out after I got is all sorted that it was also key specific and I do not think my wife's key will allow Sirius presets, but she is a FM Pop radio junkie, so for the short term it is fine that there are no Sirius presets on the wifes key.

WARNING, Sirius claims it is a BMW problem, BMW claims its a Sirius problem. I think the permanent fix is a iDrive/Sirius update???

If I find any of the links I used, I will post them back here for review.
