I bought the car with HiFi S676 system. So it had an amp, two tweeters, four midranges in each of the doors, one centre console cone and tweeter and two underseat subwoofers (more like mid base). It was not impressive at all. The mids and mid base was rather nice, but that’s where it stopped. It sounded muddy, lacked clarity and separation, highs seemed truncated and bass was boxy than punchy deep or tight. After reading on the internet I went with BimmerTech upgrade. This gave a new amp pp86dsp (by audiofischer) and replaced every speaker I mentioned above. At first i was disappointed. The system was louder, highs and bass was great but everything sounded very metallic! ( which was not what I wanted). I thought this was because of the metal cone speakers. After a few amp tuning efforts I felt quite disappointed as the software was quite overwhelming to use (not user friendly at all IMHO). Meciej from BimmerTech was great he helped me with different tuning files. Finally I managed to get a file he sent me that seemed to have improved many aspects then started to work with it by adjusting the file he sent. This took couple of hours. However the end result now is amazing. I think it was two factors -1. correct tuning 2. Speakers break in. I can’t comment about bavsound or focal. They probably are good. May be even better. But in Australia Bavsound can only be brought via third parties and both BAV and Focal are dearer than BimmerTech. I highly recommend BimmerTech. If anyone wanted I do have my tuning files for the X5 G05. |

Very happy with the upgrade, I also have the oem BMW RSE in the back, the DVD/Blu-ray player also takes USB-c & HDMI which works perfectly with the old style iPod's with the 30pin to USB apple cables, just used a USB to USB-c adapter on the cable end, it works perfectly just like it did in the older X5's, brings up images, artists, albums, tracks, song titles etc. The USB-c connectors in the front won't work with iPods, just won't recognise the connection at all for me in the e45, thought I was going to have to download all the songs into the iDrive.

I just traded in my G05 X5 40i that unfortunately came with HiFi only.
When doing so I pulled out the Bimmertech Alpha One Subs, Amp and interior door speakers. Bimmertech used my actual vehicle to shoot their videos on these. So they were both professionally installed and uninstalled. I haven't gotten around to posting them yet but they will be for sale shortly if anyone has interest please PM me. I am not just saying this because I'm selling them, but IMO they are a must have upgrade for a 70k+ vehicle with a worse stereo than a Toyota Corolla. Totally brought it up to HK standards and (if not better). I have HK in my F80 M3 and I'd say the end result was pretty comparable, if anything, more bass out of the AlphaOne subs. |

G'day! Anyone aware of audio installers in Melbourne, Australia area that can upgrade the standard HIFI audio in my X5 '19 G05? While i know you can DIY the Alpha One set I am short on time (and patience with 3 young kids).
Any suggestions of installer and/or other upgrade options welcome. thanks! G. |
