Looking at a nearly new/demo 5’er and not many of them have upgraded sound. Is it something I should insist on?

As other posters have said, if you found the E90 basic sound lacking, it is likely to be the same for the F10/11.
My E39 had the speaker upgrade, so when in the E90/1 demo cars found the basic sound not quite good enough. So went to the next level up, the optional speaker upgrade. When testing the F10/11 found a similar situation, so when looking at nearly new 5-series wanted the speaker upgrade as a minimum requirement. My 535i does have the business speaker upgrade, and the sound system performs to a similar level as the E91 upgrade, perhaps a little better.
I'm not into needing hi-fi performance in the car, but do find the basic BMW system just doesn't give a good enough quality.
