Does anyone have Sirius in their Z4 that DOESN'T drop out after going almost every underpass??

I've had my Sirius since I bought the car in 2006. It was the OEM Unit, purchased through Bavautosound. Ever since I've owned it, it has a very annoying tendancy to drop out out just after going under every underpass while driving...usually a couple seconds after emerging from that underpass.

I know satalite radio is line of sight, and all that, however, none of my factory installed XM or Sirius units in other cars EVER drop out this way...except occasionally under extremely large tunnels and such.

I've tried changing the antenna brands a couple times, and changed the antenna mounting location a few times. Nothing seems to help.

Is it just the older units that do this? If I broke down and purchased a new unit directly from BMW, would I still have this issue? I can't stand it. Has anyone else who's experienced this solved it somehow?
