I was not expecting to be disappointed by the HK system but I deeply regret not getting the B&O system. I should not have to crank the volume to 75% to get mediocre sound from this system. The B&O was clear at all volumes.

+1 on being dissapointed with HK in the X5. My main concern is the lack of bass, it just depends which type of music you listen too. For most people HK is a superb system, for me it is just not as good. I also would not confuse home audio systems by HK which are great! B&O is overpriced for this car, but there is no middle ground here. Previous X5/X6 had BMW individual audio system which was half the price of B&O but that thing sounded great (for the price). I got the B&O and again it is overpriced but felt cornered bcs I would not be fully satisfied by HK. I think for me almost all the extras are good in a way, could not justify the 4 zone climate this time around as I had it in the previous car and (besides looking cool) was almost never used.
