99% sure. I spent close to a year looking for an X5 that met my criteria, and in that time I ran 100's of VINs through a decoder. All the 2011 35i's I saw that didn't have the Premium Sound Package (S677A) had S645A US Radio. All the 2011 50i's I ran that didn't have Premium Sound had S676A Hi-Fi Audio.

If you read the 2012 X5 press guide it states - 'BMW Assist, iPod/USB Adapter and Hi-Fi Sound System added as standard to all X5 Models.'
