No Bang & Olufsen stereo offered?

So was it just a rumor that Bang & Olufsen stereo system would be offered?

it's not offered for the demo models the dealers are getting does not mean it won't be available to the general public.

However if I had to guess I would say that it won't and HK will be the only sound option

B&O is usually reserved for the higher class of BMWs - 5,6, and 7s I would have loved a cool center speaker to come out of the dash (like in Audi A5)

We have a 2013 A5 with B&O and have no idea what you are talking about.

I think you have it confused with A/S 6 models.

I doubt it as well...BMW has to co develop the system with B&O, thus, you can get the B&O option on an AG car (i.e. 535i). BMW wouldn't spend that much $$$ just for an M3/4. If they would, the option would be available for the entire 3/4 series range.

The M5/M6 BO sound system has a speaker on dash that raises up too.

I listened to a Bang & Olufsen system in an RS5 and it was absolutely horrible! I've been extremely happy with the Harman Kardon in my BMW and hope they continue to offer it.

Scott26 confirmed in the Detroit media questions thread in this forum by answering that B&O will NOT be offered for the F8X. No go Amigos!

+1. He also said HK would be what they offer.

I love the obviousness that people will pony up several thousand extra for it to say Bang & Olufsen on it. Regardless of any real or perceived sound profile.
