Sound System Upgrade in pending X5 order

[dvmccll]

Hi all,
New to forum today
About to order X5 35d and in Australia they offer three sound systems. Standard 6 speakers / 12 speaker (standard in 4.8i) and 16 speaker professional.
Cost to 12 speaker is $800USD cost to 16 speaker is whooping $1850USD.
Can anyone comment on value of either upgrade please.

You sure? If you like music you should upgrade it to the best which is professional.

I have the premium sound, which is the same as your professional. The standard system was terrible. The premium sound is okay, but not great in my opinion. My Lexus LS 460 has 19 speakers and blows the BMW system away. If you like music, I would get the professional system, or go after market.

I had the exact dilemma... back when i placed my order... Finally i decided to spend more and go with the professional sound system and I am absolutely happy with that decision. The sound is great and is something you will not be able to do in the future if you decide to upgrade... also add the usb slot.

Thanks for replys. Going to keep the car for a few years so will go the better sound

I have ordered the 16 speakers. I have had the standard system and also the 12 speakers system, I would not go below the 12 speakers, if you can afford the $1850 spend it!
