Re 2012 X5 Std audio
Imho, it really sucks big time
 this is the first out of 5 BMWs i did not get premium audio and got taken aback with surprisingly lousy audio. Is there any ways to improve it? |

i'm in the same boat with my 2011 x5 and working on a solution.....its going to be a bit involved. here's a quick run down of the low cost / easier install:
coding of the cic to output hi-fi, hardness mod of the cic, jbl ms-8 (processor/amp), running of speaker/power cables, replace stock 6 speakers (bsw drivers), installation of new center channel (bmw parts & bsw drivers). you should be able to get all the parts for around $1500 and diy yourself or have an installer help. from what i can gather...this should give you a much better sound than the l7 setup (less the missing rear pillar speakers). personally i'm looking to go another route with high end speakers and a way to interface the MOST digital network and higher powered amps. |
