I too have an X5 with the B&W system. It sounds better in the X5 than it does in my M5. I think the acoustics are better in the X5 for some reason.
The larger open cargo space in the x5 allows for better acoustics, specifically bass. Similarly matched audio systems will always sound better in an SUV than a sedan with a closed trunk
the subs are still under the front seats. They aren't over blown like my previous B&O system in my Audi, but they provide ample bass for me. I know most people are probably used to subs that blow your windows out, that's not what the B&W system is about.
