Took delivery of my car last night with B&O. Yes the sound system sounds very good. But honestly could probably live without it. However, I have not listened to the "regular" system but guessing it's the same one in my wife's new 750 which is great as well.
My take - if you don't mind the $3400, get it. If it makes you stretch your budget, pass on it and don't think twice. Now I have yet to drive in the dark and have heard that there is some cool looking illumination that makes the speakers appear to "float"? Now that may be pretty cool |

There is a thorough review here.
http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthr...t=bang+olufsen I agree with Lizard1 - it's very good but the regular one is good too. One thing I would mention is that to get benefit out of B&O you have to listen to quality sources. If you're playing satellite radio or low quality MP3s or internet radio, then you're wasting money with B&O.

So the starting point is a notch better, but the B&O takes it to another level.

Most people who ride in my 550i complement the audio system. And for what it's worth I ordered the B&O too.

Sat and listened to mine at the dealership today ( I'm letting them display the car through Saturday). Even my wife who cares less about music say Wow!
Worth the money! |

I've had my new M5 just 4 days now but I opted for the B & O system because I love music. Although the standard system is excellent, I would say go for the upgrade if you are an audiophile. Having said that, I agree that if you mostly are streaming over the internet or are using lower quality mp3 files, it won't matter as much.
