Of course you should get the Bowers & Wilkins audio upgrade.

Here is a simplified review why it is named THE best audio system you can buy.

Wanderer73 · 08-13-2020, 12:25 PM

It's a great system and perfectly compliments the X7 interior experience (especially at night). Nothing scientific about my experience, but the overall sound seems to have improved after a few months. I suspect needed a bit of break-in. Much warmer and fuller sounding now vs. what I experienced out of the gate.

It’s not your ears. All my studio near field and far field monitors in our control rooms get a mandatory break in period before we do any final mixing. We run everything from NS10’s to B&W.

not an option for 40i?

Prembo · 08-18-2020, 03:39 AM

I've bought this actual car!!

Got tired of waiting for an M50i in the UK. There are literally only a handful in the country so had to buy used.

Even the normal 30D base model is a rare sight (only seen 1 in almost 2 years now) on the roads.

Not my ideal choice of colour or specification, but didn't care - just wanted the engine. Didn't even see the car. Deal done over phone before my 4 hour train journey to collect it!

Nice to know that the audio system has been validated by an expert!!

Crazy! Well, regardless of color/specs, you've got an amazingly powerful car with an equally nice audio system

Not anymore. Option was removed for 40i in MY2021. Damnit.

Well, if I wasn't sold before, I am now. B&W one of my top must-have options.

Wanderer73 · 08-20-2020, 09:49 AM

When someone gets in my car for the first time, the B&W system is usually what comes up shortly after an overall comment on the quality of the interior/seats. I like to listen to music at an elevated level

. Get a lot of compliments at night when the speakers are illuminated.
