sound system mystery

[pudley]

Ordering a new X5 and I have told by the dealer that the Harmon Kardon stereo is no longer available on the X5. That leaves only the base unit or the uber expensive Bowers & Wilkins. Anyone else encounter this or does anyone know what the H K has been dropped from the X5 line?

I just ordered an X6 with the HK (default stereo). Have you tried calling a different dealership?

It’s still listed when you build using the online configuration at www.BMWUSA.com...but perhaps that doesn’t mean the option has just recently been removed. How fast would this be removed from the website configuration?
