But.... I can't but help remember my 2007 Audi S8 with the Bang & Olufsen. To date, I have never heard a finer quality stereo (and that was a 2007!)

With my G05.... I wanted that "exceptional" quality sound that I'd never heard before.... or since. I'm hoping that the B&W will live up to my expectations.... and maybe even exceed them.

I've downloaded over 100 of my favorite CDs onto a hard drive (before trading in my 340)... and they are just sitting, waiting, for the X5 to arrive.

Of all the things I'm looking forward to..... the stereo is #1 on my list.

Time's ticking..... slowly.
I can't speak for quality (compared to other cars) but for loudness it gives me a headache sometimes when I am cranking it up. My wife has to cover her ears. No distortion at all. Sounds perfect.
