Way to answer the question. Just a way to prolong the inevitability of you admitting you're wrong?

And now you resort to name calling...classic. Very becoming of an administer.

4 chances now to answer the question and nothing.

If you build an X5M with this "enhanced premium sound" and the picture updates with the silver speaker rings. That anecdotally plus the actual specs seem to indicate Individual sound

The Individual system has nothing to do with the chrome ring around the speakers. They have created a new system for the M which is the Enhanced Premium system which has the chrome ring, DIRAC, and a little over 800 watts. Its is NOT the Individual sound system tho, and does not compare with it in the slightest. The Individual system is a different system all together.

If you check the description of the Individual sound system on bmw.ca you see that its the same as the enhanced premium sound on the US X5M. Similarly, you will find the same for the CDN M3 and US M3 with the respective systems.

Are you saying that BMW has created two completely different sound systems with the same specifications and descriptors for the same car for multiple models?

If you look at the European brochure it lists 4 levels of sound systems. Does that mean that there is a fifth, US market only, system?

Jeez, where are you people getting this crap?

I wouldn't go so far as calling the information crap; I'm not sure exactly what makes you the definitive expert on all that is BMW. In any case, it does beg the question of why BMW would call the same option a completely different name. There are different packages available in different countries and they have different names because they include a different set of options. I don't see why BMW would call this "Individual" in one market and "Enhanced" in another and "Super Duper" in yet another.

This has been vetted over and over again. The answer is all over this thread.
I didn't know I was the definitive expert on all that is BMW. Thanks for thinking of me as such.

They do it all the time.

The individual, the high end and the m-audio are all the same. Special Dsp, upgraded speakers and a more powerful amplifier.

The speakers also get a aluminum bezel around them.
