Yes its the Base Audio. There are the Hi-Fi and Top Hi-Fi systems available in the X5 as well. I have changed all of the internal speakers with the Hi-Fi speakers with mids and tweeters. The Fronts were easy, the back doors involved new door panels with the extra hole. I scored them on ebay for 135 bucks each. I also changed out the D-pillar trim and added the OEM speakers and added the OEM center channel, wired them and am waiting to decide if I want to add an amp to power them.

Adding the new mids with tweeters added a big boost to the sound. I was pleasently surprised. It is not by any means my Top Hi-Fi system from my 08 X5 but more like the Hi-Fi from my 12 X5D. I am exploring slim line subs to replace the ones under the seats because they are not garbage, just not great. I was afraid of blowing up my CIC by splicing in 10 additional speakers and more aggressive subs so I settled for just the door tweeters wired and Ill add the amp later.
