very few dealers order the B&W system on their sheets or they'll get it on a 'showcase' model that's the most expensive spec'd vehicle on their lot; if you want the system its highly likely you will need to order it yourself.

I used to be a dabbler in high-end audio and I know there is a perception that the B&W or B&O speakers on X5 are audiophile quality. In the end, audio is personal, but based on my experience you can spend the same amound and get much better sound. My X5 has the B&O system and I have 2 B&O beolab speaker systems in my home and the B&O in the X5 isn't even close to being in the same league. The sound is more like a mid range (inexpensive) home audio system. The HK is even worse with very poor clarity. My 2 cents worth only... |

I have the base HiFi and upgraded to bavsound. Sounds significantly better, but not as good as the HK system in my wife's Merc GLS. I think we have the same number of speakers

The amp and DSP on the HK system is pretty good. The drivers on the speakers IMHO are so-so.
