I'm on my 4th car with the same exact B&O system and I love it. However, my buddy just picked up a mclaren 570s with a B&W system and it sounds incredible. Either way, for a car system it really doesn't matter. I think the B&O is excellent and coming from two previous m5's where the center speaker would rattle, i'm happy that my x6m and x5 50i haven't had any issues with that. Also noticed there's a little light on the speaker. Had no idea it could be controlled. Don't think i had that on the other cars.

I am getting my x5m and I prefer buttons to touch screen as it is easier to select what I want accurately

You don't lose any functionality with the touch screen. All the buttons still function just as they do in '15 and '16 models.

I was surprised I actually use the touch screen more than I thought I would. My F15 did not have CarPlay, but now that I have it on my F86 I'm giving it the finger a lot.
