Frequent Satellite Radio Drops...

Anybody else having frequent drops in Satellite Radio Reception? I’ve found mind to be awful. Hoping there is a fix….hearing every other word of Howard Stern just isn't enough...

Found this on a very old post from ‘redhot47fla’

“Separately, I am a fan of (and former consultant for) XM satellite radio. (To me, it always will be just "XM".) Anyway, I am noticing many more dropouts in sat-radio reception in the M850 than I've ever experienced with any other BMW model or any other car from any manufacturer. I stumbled upon a schematic that seemed to show that the sat-radio antenna is buried in the M850's rear driver-side fender, since there is no shark fin antenna on this model. That almost certainly is the source of the reception issue. Anyone else noticing the same?”
