No use crying over spilled milk at this point, but the consensus appears to be to upgrade to HK at the very minimum.
I'll post my final thoughts once my X5 arrives.
Not just sound system. The list goes on.

The Multi contour seats should have been standard. The base seats doesn't look premium car seats at all. Haven't they seem BENZ OR RRS OR INFINITI seats.

The leather should have been standard. I have not heard a luxury car with a standard vinyl seating. Sucks

Standard Stereo system is not par with luxury standards at all. Nissan comes with Bose for a car under 25k

The standard trim of X5 doesn't look like a luxury car. Unless you go with a line.
Look at the steering wheel of base. Sucks

Nissan Rogue comes with standard Xenon lights. Led could be standard.


BMW cashing the brand value and reputation on extreme side.
My build with xLine came at $69K with no seating package or Nappa.
I still can't say my car is loaded despite paying $15K on the base price.

That said, this will be my first BMW and may be the last one.

I am still thinking of RRS. Anything can happen until I complete my paperwork
