Auto sound

I have a BMW car, E-38, with a very nice sound system installed from the factory. I am in love with the listening experience while in the car. Totally immersed in music such as orchestral James Bond tracks and the band Garbage tune #Crush. I want to recreate this experience in my home set-up. Is it the pronounced bass and mostly enclosed environment that I'm experiencing, which just blows me away?  My room is 12x20 feet. TIA

The great thing about a car listening system is that you are always in the sweet spot and it’s perfect for surround.

  I suspect it’s the surround system that has you entranced.  I would work with a good dealer to see what is possible in your listening room.  I use a conventional 5.1 surround as Atmos isn’t feasible due to low lying ceilings.  If you can swing a couple of height speakers you might enjoy it

Headphones would be the best way to recreate the sound you are looking for.
