Thinking about a stripped M3. Can XM be added later?
I'm thinking about ordering a stripped M3. I really do not want to spend $4000 so I can have XM, HUD, Comfort access.
Can I get it without Executive package and have the dealer to add that back in? Does all F80 come with XM antenna? |

I know this doesn't answer your question exactly, but I play SiriusXM show replays / OnDemand (Howard Stern) from my iPhone through the Bluetooth audio in the car. I could see how switching channels via iPhone would be distracting though.

There are a couple of options from third parties, bimmer-tech has one and so does bimmer retrofit.

That was my thought. Once you factor in the XM activation, subscription and leather discount, you might as well get the exec package. I ended up getting it.

I see your point but if i go too heavy on the option i might as well get something else. To me the M3 is worth low 60K. Anymore than that i'm thing Cayman GTS, 911 or Macan Turbo. All excellent and test drove them except the GTS.

I have an M5 and I opted not to get the exec package because it was $5000. I did add the sirius radio and I think it was 400 for it to be coded into the radio. So yes it can be done. it came with the 1yr sub also. In any event ordering the car is the best bet always, it saves you a ton of $ and you get exactly what you want... thats how I went with my M5, I basically brought a 110K car to 89K. All I cared about was the motor (comes automatically) upgraded wheels and upgraded radio. and I highly reccomend the Harmon Kardon radio it makes all the difference.

For 6F Sat Radio FSC Code, contact Chang, and tell him Shawn Sheridan sent you:
car_coding@hotmail.com Should charge about $100 for the Sirius Activation codes which get loaded with ESYS coding software ... and you get 1 year trial subscription. |
