If you'd like to get XM, the only option thus far (that I know of) for seamless integration using the steering wheel controls is XM Direct. However, to my knowledge, it is incompatible with Nav & DSP. Had it in my '04 X3, and LOVED it! As for Sirius, I have tried it as well, and the only real difference is in the sports category. Sirius, for the most part, has a moratorium on professional sports, except for baseball. As for the various genres of music, there really isn't much of a difference IMO. XM Direct, of course, is less expensive than the Sirius BMW receiver. There's not much of a difference in the monthly cost.

I can only speak for Sirius in my X5. Love it. Can use the buttons to flip through the pre-sets. It is integrated into the Nav screen.

I personally like Sirius over XM just because I have more of my favorite channels on Sirius...

Sirius
IMHO XM is poop. I had it for about 3 months and gave it away after having a rental with Sirius. I like the Sirius music channels more, sports is better and talk is better. XM just signed up that baffoon Oprah. I'm not paying a company to hear her yap about sexual predators and hear the struggle to keep her weight below 350...

The XM Direct is great! I almost never listen to "regular" radio anymore.

I have Sirius in our X3 and my Honda S2000 (I also had it in my previous Audi) and get XM through my DirecTV satellite subscription. I think the real choice here is what *you* want to listen to and which station does a better job of delivering that specific programming.
FWIW I don't listen to any form of talk radio or sports - strictly music and I find that the playlists on Sirius tend to be fairly short so you will get gobs of repeats if you listen to it a lot. XM seems to fit my own programming tastes a little better but I never would have known that until DirecTV piped their channels into my house as a part of my TV subscriptions.

I enjoy Sirius for talk radio including Howard Stern. Yep, I like him.
