Hi. Long-time BMW owner, second-day owner of an X3 M50. Search isn’t cooperating on this: Anyone know how to reorder (SiriusXM) radio presets, now apparently called Favorites.

I’ve marked several stations as Favorites and can scroll through them with the small dial on the steering wheel as in iDrive 8.5, but I can’t find any way to re-shuffle the order in which they appear in iDrive 9. Previous iDrives made that easy.

Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I don’t think so. I wish there were buttons on the steering wheel to change to a different favorite.

That does exist. Just touch the little wheel on the right side of the wheel. Up/down will scroll through your radio favorites. Pause/press.

The problem is that once set, there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the order, as there was on early iDrive systems.

You can’t directly sort the list of favorites, but there is a workaround. Open the Sirius Media app in the car and go to your list of favorites. Bring up one of your favorites, click the icon on the right to remove the favorite, and click it again to add it back. All new favorites go to the bottom of the list. Do this strategically with your list and you can get the order you want.

Aye. Thanks. I was zeroing in on that sort of thing. Will do.

Just to jump in here, any way to get the channel numbers to show up?

I haven't found that. They seem to have replaced easily remembered and understood channel numbers with colorful graphics that are...OK, colorful...but, in many cases, look very much the same and are difficult to discern.
