1) When I was shopping for my 370Z, I test drove only the touring models, with and without navi. I know the Bose stereo without the navigation had XM. This is the stereo with the orange LED display that is integrated into the dash, not the single DIN base stereo. I don't think the base stereo has XM capability. However, if I were buying a 370Z with just the base stereo, I'd probably go with an aftermarket Kenwood unit with Garmin Navi, like AK370Z and others have done.
2) Not sure if the XM antenna is attached to the roof by screws or adhesive mount only. I'm guessing there would at least be one hole for the wire, and you'd likely need to repaint to cover up the hole.
3) Depends on how it is attached and if they have spare ones laying around. I'm not sure if the XM is a factory or dealer installed option.
4) Not sure. I have always preferred manual transmissions over automatics. I also think the synchorev match (if you get the sports package) holds an advantage over a regular manual, unless you are an expert at heel-toeing and rev matching on your own.
