BSW Stage I Audio Upgrade for BMW X5 / X5M 07+ (E70)

[JasonG]

Excellent.....web site doesnt show what's included for the "Base Audio" system Upgrade...can you add some details?

[davahad]

I ordered in January and at that time it didn't look like the Center Channel speaker was included in the upgrade but the rep was supposed to get back to me on this when they came in.

Here is what I ordered:
BSW Stage 1, BMW E70 X5 HiFi (BSW.S1.E70.HF-Kit)

If this doesn't include a center channel or a center channel isn't available at a nominal add'l charge then I'm going to cancel my order as most sound is through the center.

That is correct you do not have OEM Tweeter Mounts(or the tweeters there). Our upgrade will not only replace your 4" speakers currently present but we include the trim pieces, mounts, brackets etc to mount tweeter. Of course we include the tweeters as well.

So Base Audio you will receive both the midranges and the tweeters. And the pieces to complete the install.

I know... sorry it is late

You are correct as with the E46. Premium sound means you get more speakers, more power and it is run through the same low quality garbage speakers. It sounds 'better' because it has more volume and more low end... same poor sound.

We can definitely fix a Logic7 equipped vehicle and fix it up nice. The best thing about the L7 system is BMW finally put some power behind it. This means there is some decent umph pushing the speakers and dropping in our upgrades component set will really let it shine!


Keep the questions coming!

Good news on incremental tweeters added to the basic system (that's very nice)...now i wish i would have pre ordered last month....just got gun shy as i had read it had already been pending for 2 years and the date kept moving out....glad it's finally done, now just have to figure out if i want to pull the trigger at full price....either way, kudo's for what appears to be a good upgade.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their order! Many have already left and more are on their way! We really appreciate the positive response from the X5 owners!

As with anything BSW related if you have any questions, concerns, issues, comments or whatever! Please send them our way! We love to hear from you!

Looking for updates on those who have installed the BSW speakers. Looking to compare the base sound system to the BSW. Is it night and day difference?

Is the installation quite simple for this upgrade?

Hello,

did you get the speakers? (8 or 10)
How they sounds.
I´d like to buy them too, but BSW seems to have problems to manufacture them
