I looked at my window sticker, and it doesn't have premium audio listed. Since I'm thinking of grabbing some BSW speakers, I need to find out for sure if I have the base audio package.
There is a center speaker installed, but no equalizer in iDrive. BSW lists the package with center speaker as the high fi option. What's right?
I am pretty certain you do not have the premium audio. If you have premium audi, you get an addition two audio speakers near the back side on D-pillar. BSW has an installation video on X5.
At 4:25, it starts talking about the D-pillar speakers. If don't have any opening, you do not have premium system. Let me know how it goes. I am also interested in BSW upgrade.
I have not heard it myself. I am interested in how it goes with other.
My coworker's son upgraded an old BMW 3series audio. It was supposedly much better than stock. He did not upgrade with BSW speaker on his 3 series but a more expensive set that was better.
Currently, he is waiting and has been waiting (for a while) for BSW amplifier upgrade. The main selling point about BSW is that they fit well with BMW without any hacks. So it is a "simple" and elegant upgrade. He did not want to add a giant box just to put in a weird hook up for an external amp. So he is waiting for their solution. I am certain that BMW's optical bus system has certainly made this effort much more complicated for a small company.
Hello Macming. I had similar questions on my 328i, use bmwvin.com. It will show you, among other things, what sound system your x5 has.
