I'll move this to the Audio Forum.
There are a bunch of threads on this topic.

Some people like Bose, but most audio experts really despise Bose because they are set up to boost mid-range output and thus seem "louder" at a cost to fidelity. So, the base BMW stereo (which I've read is much improved) would in the opinion of most be superior to a Bose unit.

BMW has added more speakers in the base model (10 total) including two subwoofers under the front two seats. You can really feel the music in the seat of your pants 
The upgraded system is actually still by Harmann Kardon (not Bose) but is now upgraded to the Logic 7 home theater system. You can adjust not only the bass and treble but you have a complete Equalizer to play with.
I suggest trying out the system and then deciding if the Logic 7 is worth the money. I think it is. 
But regardless, either way you won't be disappointed.

It depends on your definition of good sound. BMW stereos these days, are actually among the best on the market. Unfortunately, most people think that the boom box sound is correct and natural, and that a relatively neutral system sounds like crap.

And that's how Bose got their name imprinted in most consumers' heads. They managed to "reinvent" the definition of good sound. No doubt, Bose is very successful in marketing but in terms of audio fidelity, be it car or home, they are among one of the worst manufacturers I can think of. And you still hear people saying everyday, "oh, my bose system sounds so much better than yours!"
