That said, an alternative solution I could suggest to you would be coding the B&W sound settings via bimmercode. I drive a 2021 BMW 330i that has iDrive 7 and Harman Kardon (his name is Hrag!) and I have the B&W sound settings coded/enabled! With these new settings, I can change the music profiles (e.g., Movie Theatre mode, concert mode, etc.) and I think it enhances the sound on the H/K system!
If you know anyone who is a sound/audio engineer, they can go into the equalizer and get crazy! Although if you are like me and you don't, then I would suggest that you still mess with the equalizer and see if that helps? I don't know anything about frequencies or what an equalizer even is, I just kept moving things around until it sounded good.
Lastly, I've been fooling around with some music software and I've added both a reverb and a 3D effect to some of my favorite songs and I think that, along with the B&W settings on the H/K system, really enhances the experience! I've got quite a few compliments on my vehicle's sound system and so I hope this helps!
Keep us posted and let us know if you decide to go through with it or maybe another alternative!
Down below is a link to "Bavsound", which is a company that offers sound system - upgrades that are specifically compatible to BMW's and I've heard good things about them! There is also a user who did a Bavsound upgrade on his/her/their X5 and they posted a DIY - link will also be down below!

Thank you for good info but I'm still thinking of going with hard way as long as I can find good deal on B&W set. I'll do detail video if I ever come up installing this system. I used to have B&O in my Audi A8 and it was amazing.
