I have satellite radio in the M3 and I find the coverage and clarity not so good. The sound to me is something like a good FM station, not CD quality. Plus, being further north, the minute we drive through any trees or hills the signal drops out. I really like some of the stations, just not feeling the value where we live...

I cannot tell much difference between HD radio and regular FM but I'm not an audiophile. Also, does the strength of the HD signal make much difference I think there are four or five bars there but I rarely get more than two...

Okay, I have it in both of my cars and on my I Phone. I don't have any signal problems where I live. I also would add comfort access. I wouldn't order a car without it...

Good luck,

Between satellite radio and iPod/music uploading (NAV required to upload music), you'll never run out of music options!
