I'd say it's acceptable but this is a $90k vehicle. I'm debating swapping out the system for an upgrade but in general I'm fairly upset that the base sound system in a car this expensive is so 'meh'
I appreciate the feedback. I’m now considering upgrading to the i50 just to have the better sound system or simply not ordering the i40 at all. My wife’s X3 has the HK and it sounds pretty good at low volume. I really like the i40 engine for better mpg and power for an inline 6,probably more reliable as well long term. If I go the i50 route, would just lease it as I was planning to buy i40. Another annoyance is having to get the bi-color 22’s, since I can’t order the black 21’s and I’m not a fan of the silver 21”s on a Artic grey with blacked out trim msport. I will say, the i40 drives exceptionally well and really enjoyed my test drive.
