A new user with a question about Sirius installation

[JSY]

Hello all,

I'm soon to take delivery of a '07 X3 and I decided to go the lease route. I was told that I had a production date of Dec. 6. but I don't know how long it'll be before I actually get it. Yes, I'm excited.

Has anyone checked their production status via the Owner's Circle site before? I noticed that my Premium package isn't shown as one of the options to be installed. Is that normal? Everything else not in the package shows, though. Hmmm... Hope it's not a mixup somewhere and that this is typical!

Well, my Sirius question:

Is it possible to easily install Sirius in the car (that is, after buying the Sirius module from a parts dealer) and then remove it when the lease term expires? From the pictures I've seen, this looks quite possible, but not sure. I'm not so keen on plugging in the high cost to install it when I'd rather do it myself if at all possible since this cost is not factored in the lease.

Also, are they still producing X3s with the satellite radio wiring issue in the sharkfin? I suppose that would factor in my decision as well. I love satellite radio and have had XM and Sirius for years and I can't imagine driving without it. I'd prefer XM, but Sirius will do so I can use the Nav screen as well.

Thanks for any help!
