Do you want OEM integration?

You need the BMW Sirius install kit, and a BMW Sirius Receiver. If your car is NOT pre wired for satellite you'll need wiring and fiber optics which will be a bit more difficult to do.

Is the Sirius radio tuner for the 2008 328i hard to find? I recently purchased one from a dealer. When I told a second guy at a different BMW dealer parts counter, he told me I had better go buy some lottery tickets because I was very lucky. Are they really that rare now?

From what others have said, these are no longer available for purchase new from the dealer.. so if you got one you're lucky they had it in stock

Thanks... yeah, it was new and in stock at the dealer. Odd, I guess I just got lucky. I had the guy double check the part number (PN 65 12 9 192 274) against my VIN (December 2007 build date), and he says it is the right one. I'm getting a little nervous now that he is sending me something that is not right for this car.

I should clarify: I am getting nervous because getting lucky and I are not well acquainted. In fact, if it weren't for bad luck...
