I hope those complaining about the bass actually know how to set their EQ for maximum response and clarity. Two words: "disco smile". Look it up. I have a side-gig as a sound engineer and the B&W is so good that our studio actually uses the Bimmer as a reference system when we're mixing and mastering songs. Definitely couldn't say the same about the H&K. Currently in a 2020 750 loaner car and I'm very underwhelmed with Harmon when compared to my Bowers.[IMG][/IMG]

Did they increase the wattage of B&W in 2023 LCI?
Does anyone have a chart that compares wattages and # of speakers and changes for the B&W for the years 2019 X&, 2020, 2021 ---- through 2023 in series? My understanding that it has not changed on the X7 since 2019? however, reading online I see that the iX gets higher wattages and more speakers? can someone confirm? |

Has anyone added a subwoofer to the BW setup? I'm a bass fanatic and would love to add a 12" subwoofer box & amp to the setup. Back in the day, I had subs in the boot of my 3 series and was able to remove the box if I needed the extra space.
Was looking to do the same on the X7 with or without the BW setup. |

You could probably do two under seat stealth kicker subs with a hidden amp behind the panels in the cargo area.

Yeah, I had an iX before, and am surprised that the X7 LCI still did not get any of the new features that iX got with it's idrive 8, but rather just carried over pre-LCI X7 tech with idrive 8 being the only tech change. For instance, the iX has interior cameras (X7 LCI didn't carry that feature). iX also comes with a much powerful B&W sound system (X7 LCI just carried the same pre-LCI X7 B&W which is not as powerful as the iX). Despite that X7 LCI is introduced after the iX. For the record, the 7-series sedan will carry all the iX tech features though (like interior cameras, powerful B&W, and the higher tech drive assist and hands-free on highways).

if they put all that new jazz in the LCI then why would anyone rush out to purchase the new model? the LCI is just to revitalize an aging product and stimulate sales.

Adding an interior camera and slightly more powerful sound system in the X7 LCI to be equivalent to other BMW vehicles would have never prevented people from rushing to newer product (i.e.: new X7 generation in 2028)!. That would be a disaster if that is what they are counting on for the new X7 that won't come until 5 years from now!!.. If you you are worried about competing with the new 7-sedan and iX, they are out of the competition because the market and type of consumers aren't the same. As I said many times, each time more information are revealed I continue to believe that the X7 LCI was rushed and delivered half cooked stripped from features and yet missing other new features that it's sisters (iX, 7-sedan and XM) being the top 3-4 of the line products are getting. It is so disappointing to see an LCI with more missing and stripped features that the added one; I was hopping to at least see a more powerful B&W, which is why I asked earlier. Things like a more powerful sound system would fit 100% and exactly for what people would expect in an LCI...

no, solely it would not but adding it to a list of other "upgrades" and new features will. secondly this is only my speculation not fact however an LCI is simply a revision not all new vehicle. if you would like all these features or upgrades then purchase the newest vehicles not revised counterparts.

I test drove an iX a few months ago when the local dealer had a demo. Great car but I needed the space of the X7 so went with that. Thinking of adding an BMW EV down the road as they are coming out with different models now. Wondering if BMW is prioritizing the EV fleet when it comes to options and build quality. |

Answer to your other question: The iX B&W certainly was great. Is it much better than the X7, yeah maybe, but it’s nothign like you’d miss. They are both excellent but the iX felt a bit more rich and premium. Probably also because the iX is smaller yet with a few more Watts to begin with.
