I did an XMDirect/Blitzsafe install on my '03 530i and it worked like a charm. HOWEVER, as you know with your build date, the radio needs to have the satellite radio functionality built-in to be able to use XM (or Sirius, for that matter).

I agree with Statdoc...Tom @ EAS would be a good resource for more information. Please post your findings here when you get it worked out.
