I have 100hz all the way up and 200hz almost all the way up. Sucks that they have the bass frequency centered so high. Would be nice if it was lower. The song that hits for me are "Ain't no future in your frontin'" by MC Breed. If you're not getting any resonation from that song, then maybe something might be wrong.

Very true. My wife's old 2001 325i had a HK system in it and it hit much better than my old 2005 X5 "premium" sound.

HK was standard on the 2016 as well, so unless they changed the quality of the system for 2017, it should be the same as mine.
