AM is of such crap quality it is unlistenable. 30-3kHz bandwidth

 
Isn't it 5 kHz?  I can't see wasting quality on a 2-kHz guard band.
 
I've heard about AM stereo.  Is that for real?  If so, how?

Even one station here in Australia, but at the wrong end for me.

and 40dB signal to noise? You have top be freakin' kidding me!
FM is way better,

 
As long as there isn't a hill between you and the transmitter.
And in a car you have constantly-shifting multipath interference.
All in all, though, I consider FM a win - but it's nice to have
the AM option.

I have no problem with AM for music, but the one AM music station
that I used to listen to closed a few years ago. Now it's just ABC
Classic on FM or bust with me. I don't have to travel far before
that's the only music station you can get reliably anyway, due to
FM's limited coverage and the ABC maintaining better rural coverage
than any commercial stations. Forget about digital FM.
