Hi Everyone. Got the car this afternoon. Of course I'm so overwhelmed with the whole experience, the music has been only one element of it. Although I will check out all of my entertainment options once I get settled in. The system sounds pretty good though. Just loving the car! Finally got it, yay!!! Thanks everyone for your responses and advice!

Congrats on your new ride. This is definitely the website for you where we all share our love & sometime disappointment with our X5s. Personnally, I hope you come to love yours as much as I do mine. I will admit to being disappointed in the sound systems and had BSW(see ad this website) install their speaker upgrade in my new X5 last year. I now love my sound and I DO love listening to all types of music. This place will definitely help you customize(& fix) your X5. Welcome!
