Get the premium sound, with the idrive and the proprietary indash deck there is no clean way of doing after market things except for speakers and maybe an amp for the subs. I did not do it and every time i get a loaner with premium sound i just kick myself it is worth it, it should be standard though as it is on the 3 series?

When I test drove the E60, I brought a CD with me. I played it in the L7 and the base system. I chose the base system and am thrilled with it. I think it comes with 2 subs. I find its quality of sound depends on the source. I mostly listem to my ipod through the AUX input and it sounds great.

If L7 is standard in the US there will be a lot of people in the US who will be unhappy that they paid $1200-$1600 extra for it.
