If I go through an underpass at less than 60mph I'll lose the signal on my satellite radio whereas my Honda would only lose it if I parked under the overpass. I've also lost signal before on long stretches of roads due to tall trees. On those same roads the Honda handled it just fine.*
I lose my satellite radio signal when I park in my garage, but I've never experienced a lapse in the connection when traveling under an overpass. Fortunately I have never parked under an overpass nor have I ever had the need to do so. Were you with a hooker? Kidding!

I haven't owned a Honda/Acura in many years. I have, however, been in a friend's 2011 Acura TSX with navigation. I haven't noticed any superiority over the BMW unit, BUT I also haven't spent that much time in the car either.
