Yes, you can set it in Idrive under Entertainment settings...Audio...Speed volume

See page 132 of the user manual for more. You can download the user manual here: 5 Series User Manual (US)

Is that with L7 only or the standard radio as well? I do have the Pro Nav, if that makes a difference.

I still have more than a month before I get mine.

My 545i hasn't arrived yet either, but it appears in the manual to be available with or without Logic7. Speed Volume is grouped together with basic audio settings like treble/bass and balance/fade.

so how does the system detect the level of unwanted noise so as to automatically adjust the volume up?

No idea - but i believe the iDrive says "Speed dependent volume". My guess is that the automatic volume adjustment happens in proportion with speed increase/decrease.
