Side note, we consider ourselves audiophiles of sorts and our home system has equipment that is some of the best in the world that eclipses the price of some new cars. Anyone who states the system is underwhelming or lacks performance is wrong and doesn't know how to set it up or is using crap source content.
Will post video to YouTube…
High level: I ran my MacBook Pro to the BMW M5 B&W sound system to do frequency sweeps, those sweeps were played through car audio system calibrated to SPL output of matched mic, and high accuracy calibrated mic for signal analysis.
The system doesn't need many tweaks as you can see in EQ settings. There are a few nodes caused by the cabin, those are at 140Hz, and around 300Hz, but there isn't enough EQ resolution to tune out the nodes as much as possible like I can on my big home system.
Enjoy!

Thank you for doing this. Im by no means an audiophile but I tried your settings and in my opinion the base was way too low for my liking. I will say that the quality and clarity was better and improved overall but I would like more bass. Would you recommend that its okay to use all other settings you have but keep the base at +4 where it sounds much better to me? Or would that ruin the whole range totally? I listen to mostly new/old school hip hop and reggae and african/arabic music.
I do appreciate your help with this.
