That's the plan with the M5 I am ordering. I won't be upgrading the stereo in it. But I have major stereo upgrades in my Audi and currently being installed in my S63 AMG. |

My wife and I enjoy the sound of the BW stereo in the M5. For the cost of the system I believe it is worth the price of admission. One could buy an Audison bit one audio processor and add it in to the M5 and adjust the system to your liking.
I'm in my 50's and back in the 80's when I was young Marine I installed Rockford Fosgate amps, speakers, and subs in my 1984 Camaro Z-28. When I purchased my 2008 Tacoma double cab 4X4 new the first thing I did was remove the stock horrible sounding speakers and head unit. In went a JL Audio HD900/5 amp, Eclipse CD-7200MKII (passive head unit), full interior Dynamat sound damping material, JL Audio slim 13.5" sub, Hybird Audio Technologies (HAT) Clarius 6.5 for the front, and HAT 6.5 coaxial speakers. I still have the Taco today and it is my everyday driver. |

Are these settings in your X5 ?? If so, it may not work well in the M5 because of the different acoustics of the interior

yes, as mentioned. it's a good starting point I suppose. I would've loved to keep to M5C order but driving a sedan here is suicide. Feel free to try it and let people know how it sounds in the M5. I use it mainly for rock/metal from the 80's but I also listen the usual variety of modern stuff too b

Are you happy with it? How many clicks up/down are those on the various frequencies?

I agree with most everything said here... something emphasized having recently come out of a 2018 AMG E63S with a Burmester which was sublime. However, after extensive tweaking, the following works for me with the B&W:

Sorry for being a bit off topic but does anyone know how to properly record exhaust sounds with high quality microphones? I feel like no matter what I do with my phone it just does not do the exhaust justice, it just sounds so flat everytime I try and doesn't sound nearly as good vs in person.
I really want to get some nice clips of outside vehicle revving and some tunnel runs now that I'm running Eventuri V2 intake with Keller DP/MP combo on Akrapovic exhaust. The car sounds absolutely mental and the turbo spool sound is so addicting! |

I boost the 100Hz by +6 clicks, bring down the 200Hz by -5 or -6 clicks, boost the 500Hz by +4 or +5, then I set the rest to taste. The the general bass and treble to taste as well but boost the general bass pretty high depending on what I listen to. This setting doesn't distort. Also, I always set everything to sound and "feel" good at highway speed. Setting the whole thing to sound good in your driveway doesn't reflect the reality IMO.

Sound is very very subjective. I won't bother getting an expert to assess the sound system of my car. Most importantly, I enjoy and like the sound since I own and spend time driving the car. An "expert" can install and tune the best sound system but if you the owner doesn't like it, what's the point?

I just got my 20 M5 with B&W and in comparison to the B&O in my 17 X5M and also the same stereo in my previous 14 M5 the B&W is stunningly better to me than the B&O. I have listened to a variety of music now with the engine off and running around town and could not be happier with B&W.
I still have my X5M for another month so the comparison is fresh. |

Wow, this is really surprising. I had B&O in my 2015 M5 and thought it was good - had never paid for upgraded audio system in car before. I got a 2018 Volvo XC90 with Bowers and a 2019
2018 MB AMG GT with Burmester audio and realized how terrible the BMW B&O was. I'm thinking about a F90 and will check this out. Really surprising...

Just an FYI, The revel systems in the new Lincolns are probably the best ive ever heard by a long shot. Almost bought an MKZ a few years ago because of it. Speaking more to the upgraded ones rather than the base revel systems.
