Aftermarket speakers for 2014 F15
Hello friends,
I'm buying the 2014 X5 and comes with base sound system...I did the upgrade from base to alpine in my X1 and the difference is noticeable... is there any options for X5 available now? I read that bavarian sound is working on it...but any other option? Best Enrique |

There are no plug'n'play options available for F15 because for this model BMW decided to make a completely different platform for the speakers, so everyone has to design from scratch. BAVSound are indeed working on a PnP version of their speakers (probably others like Focal do as well), but I don't know how close they are...
I've had a very productive conversation with guys I trust with BMW sound upgrades in a different country - if I were to pull the plug it would cost me circa EUR 4.3k just for the equipment+labour, but this system would blow even B&O out of the water... |

It's an $875 upgrade and it also gives you additional speakers not just better speakers, as well as better subs. I think $875 is a decent price for what you get (at least it was in E70 and I hear HK's are better than last gen premium sound)

But is there a chance to get those $875 speakers/subs aftermarket? because my f15 is in stock...not custom order.

i have the harmon kardon, but i installed a 12 inch subwoofer in the trunk..
if you have a base stock system, they usually cant reach the lows necessary, and it inhibits the speakers from exuding the highs you look for as well. lowering the base from the stock speakers and supplying an aftermarket subwoofer and amp, you allow the speakers to distribute the highs at a clearer level, and the base does not get impaired |
