Highly recommend upgrading the HiFi system with Focals, if you want to take it to the next level, get the Focals ES100K.
You can buy either setup from European distributors for ~1k or less, depending on which set you pick. |

That's crazy price for those Focal's! You're taking about true high end speakers. Would the HiFi amps be able to drive those speakers?

I had bavsounds in my '22 g05. Honestly I felt that I missed having some tweeters in the rear, even though I was sitting in the front. I also found myself turning the treble all the way up. I felt like some music sounded great, but something was missing in others.
I switched to the focal insides yesterday and now I'm very happy. I turned the treble down a ways and it sounds awesome. I also have the bimmertech amp driving them. |

FWIW, even if you get the B&W OEM speakers, you won't get it back in resale value. So you are still doing it for the experience more so than the value… My 2 cents worth. |

On this forum there are people asking, which version should they buy and they end up with the M50i. In the real world people have a budget and buy within that budget - not a $30K price difference. At least from people I know, it would be rare to find anyone who set out to buy a car for $70K and then ended up with one for $100K! That's just 30K lying around… The concept of budget is different in the real world and in a forum…. My 2 cents worth… |

I mean, even the M Sport package is a cosmetic package, which some may dig and some others may not - nothing wrong with that. Perhaps those in the latter camp prefer to spend their money in different "improvements" that make more of a difference to them. To each their own, I guess. Clearly if we were talking about a true M, then it would be a completely different story but (to your point) it would come at a very different price point and with different characteristics: awesome performance but less comfort than other models. And the same goes for several other items on the list: for some glass controls are a cool thing to have, for others upgrading a not-so-great base hi-fi system is the way to go and more desirable than glass controls. Some would not even consider any leather below Merino or have a kick out of paying extra for an individual color: that's awesome, because it makes their X5 special and it makes them happy and excited whenever they see it. Others may prefer to spend their money on PPF'ing their car and/or ceramic coating it: I think that's just as great if that's what makes them happy. Just to use a specific example: personally I love nZtiZia's matte PPF wrap: I think that not only does it make his X5 really special, it also provides valuable protection as was the case when it saved his paint from a nasty scratch which would have cost him a pretty penny to fix. I see no hype there, but a choice that makes a lot of sense, at least to me. Just my additional 2 cents |

How are the tweeters connected? Bavsound's tweeters take signal from the mid range and filter off the low end frequencies. So basically signal coming to stock tweeters is disregarded. If the system is OK with Bavsound, I would think you can ditch the tweeters for the rear.

I second that, I replaced all speakers in my HiFi system with the exception of the second subwoofer, have not received it yet. At this point I can replace front/rear/center speaker in 20 minutes each. Subwoofer takes an hour.
