I am going to get this too....

Good thing Premium Audio is standard and we dont have to buy that to get B&O.
I also had B&O on my S4. Wouldn't say it was that great. Clarity is nice but not that loud. But again on m5 it should be at least twice as louder.
Also. I was told by Audi service stuff that all so called "B&O" sound systems on all Audis except flagship A8, feature S8 don't have a true real B&O speakers. But B&O actually configured and tuned the system that was supplied by third party. Only on A8 and S8 is a true B&O. Same with Mercedes S class, true B&O.. Not sure what's the deal behigh B&O for BMWs... I currently have newer E63 AMG and had the whole system upgraded with REUS in Los Angeles. About $5K and sounds great over stock 600 watt HK. I remember seeing in their shop Aston DB9s B&O being upgrade and the guy said that B&O is a crap. Well, I hope not. Also another thing the guy told me is that Pro Sound System in X5M sounds better than B&O in 6 Series. I guess I'll wait until I hear my feature M5 with B&O. At least it will have nice chrome speaker grills for $3700....
