At least your stereo works

It was a bit underwhelming to me, to be completely honest.

Did you have an E92? It basically seems like a marginally better quality sound than the base E92 stereo, but not as good/loud as the upgraded E92.

I think the F80 sounds great. Better lows (more clear) than the Enhanced... but i think the enhanced might handle higher ranges (like rock) at full volume better... But i'm kinda splitting hairs, they both sound great IMO... and at anything under %80 volume id give the advantage to the HK by a fair margin. Id buy the HK again, no doubt.

I opt for HK and will find out. How is the bass on the HK, is there a sub? I wonder if the base radio is adequate?
On Audi cars I find the base radio close enough while listening to XM or something not that clear to begin with. On Porsche the base radio is more comparable to the one speaker ford Tempo from the 90's and is a must. At the very lease CDR plus. |

I have a 2012 535i basic stereo and it sucks. Hoping this HK is a lot better. Had a 335i coupe in the past with logic 7 pretty sick. Is this HK in the F80 better that the L7 in a 2009 335i?
Thanks for all the responses. This forum rocks. |

HK is great, you have to listen to it once you have your car.

It is OK... certainly not the best I've heard. I plan to do some fine tuning with a sound meter once I have time. On some source material, I think it is great. On others, it isn't. I'm struggling with getting it to have enough bass without becoming too muddy. I'll report back in a week or so once I've had a chance to spend some time with it.

Yeah. A $1,900 option is a bit excessive.

Definitely. I do think they got the price figured out better this time (but probably because not many sprung for the upgraded audio on the e92s. I think many more are springing for the HK this time around.

I can't wait for someone to optimize the equalizer settings for us and report back like they did with the E92. Those really sounded good.

I know this might be blasphemy on a performance car like the M3/4, but when I get mine, I plan on laying down about 100 lbs of sound insulation (dynomat or something similiar), turning off the active sound, and then seeing what else it needs. Perhaps speaker replacement, perhaps a simple sub, or perhaps something to intercept the sound signal, run it through some good amps into a nice set of speakers. We'll see.

The HK system is ok. It gets loud without distorting. The bass isn't doesnt have the attack and decay I would like, the mid bass is a bit muddy and the highs get a bit bright, but overall its not bad at all.
