When I got my 5 series, it did not have the sat radio prep - I assumed it would be too costly, at that point, to put it in. So I went out and got the new Sirius S50 unit and installed it (poorly) this past weekend. Although there are wires hanging out, it still looks pretty good and works great....

This unit is amazing. The quality of the screen is great and it has the ability to scroll sport scores, jump to traffic, and download songs to the harddrive to play when not attached (as a portable MP3 player). The only real downside is that the sound comes through the FM transmitter.

For those of you with Sirius already installed, are you happy with the features? My wife has an X3 that has the capability of having Sirius, but after installing this unit, it seems limited to have the BMW installed unit for the same price as the S50. We are debating on installing the BMW or going with the S50 for her....

Thoughts?
