Edit: I checked BMW CA and UK and did not see any further description via their mobile site so I'm not sure where the 1500W 20 speaker set up came from even though that's obviously better and I hope correct. I'm going to reach out and see what both Bowers and Wilkins/BMW say about the X5's system in the US

I tweeted BMW and got a response. I really don't use social media but figured it was faster this way.
edit: waiting on Bowers and Willkins still

Both the UK & German brochure state the B&W System has 20 speakers. |

Also the B&W promotional videos shows 20 speakers. Hopefully someone with the system will confirm soon. Unfortunately I have to wait until my X5 gets across the Atlantic before I can check. |

can you quickly check the 50i for US spec? I'm on my phone and it's a pita to look at that way

I have the B&W system in my X5, and it's fantastic. I am a bit of an audiophile with a great B&W/McIntosh system at home. I assume most people paying for the B&W are buying it because they are audiophiles and are looking for great detail throughout the range. The midrange is superb for a car, the treble is sweet, and the bass is proper. IMO, don't worry about the speaker count as it's how it sounds that matters, and it sounds wonderful.

I looked at the amp, but don't see any specs on it. Here is the breakdown of what I count for speakers. The mystery is I am not sure what is in the center (Dash) or the cargo area, so I made some assumptions:
-Center Dash: Tweeter & Mid - 2 -Front Doors: Tweeter & Mid - 4 -Subwoofers: 2 -Rear Doors - Tweeter & Mid- 4 -Ceiling - 4 -Cargo - 2 I count 18. However, the cover in the cargo area is pretty big so perhaps there is a tweeter under that cover as well. Since the spec sheet does say there are 5 aluminum tweeters, I assume one is in the center, two in the rear doors, and the remaining two must be in the cargo area. So perhaps, there are 20. |

I am fairly certain it is twenty speakers with an amplifier as per ETK. Perhaps contact the Executive at BMW/HQ you have been working with and inquire or relay the misinformation.

I also believe it has 20 speakers. I was told that by my CA when I ordered. My 50i with B&W is here, and I'm picking it up tomorrow or Monday, so will count them when I get it home.

Picked up ours yesterday
It was ordered back in September but was delayed due to B&W and merino trim. Similar sound to the system in my B7z
