I just went to a dealership today to hear the top-level system in an M5. I found it and listened to a Santana CD. Definitely among the best sound I have heard. I have logic 7 in my 335i (13 speakers, incl 2 subs under front seats) and this system was definitely clearer, with deeper and more powerful base and pretty spectacular imaging.
I have heard the base 10-speaker system and thought it sounded decent, but it definitely lacks low-end punch.
This is a tough one, since it requires Nav (which I really don't car about having). However, the technology package (Nav, comfort access, and adj suspension) is not too horribly expensive at $3250 (basically pay for Nava and suspension and get the CA for $150). Also gets you adjustible steering and M-drive.
Go find an M5 with that stereo and take a listen. If you really enjoy music it is pretty spectacular.
