thanks in advance

The sound is poor and it's not a BMW issue. Sirius has decided to offer quantity over quality with their limited satellite bandwidth. Some channels sound better than others, they have various bandwidth per channel. Note that it's more complex than that as they really do real-time bandwidth adjustment based on all channels.
In other words a fancy way to produce crappy sound.
