BMW X5 xDrive30d M-Sport Auto G05 2022

Audio

For many BMW owners, the factory sound system leaves much to be desired. The 2022 BMW X5 xDrive30d M-Sport was no exception. The factory audio setup lacked depth, dynamics, and clarity, leaving the sound image muddled around the door area. Bass response was weak, highs were absent, and overall, the music sounded flat and lifeless.

At MC Audio, we specialize in transforming stock audio systems into immersive listening experiences. Here’s how we redefined sound for this luxury SUV.

Original Setup

The BMW’s factory audio system included:

Factory head unit with embedded filters
No amplifier or subwoofer in the boot
2x under-seat woofers with minimal power input
No tweeters

This basic configuration resulted in limited audio fidelity and a lack of vibrancy in the soundstage.

The MC Audio Upgrade: Precision, Power, and Clarity

Using Audiotec Fischer’s plug-and-play solutions, we delivered a dramatic improvement without altering the car’s factory wiring. Our approach ensured the installation was entirely reversible, maintaining the vehicle's warranty and original aesthetics.
