I'm not an audiophile by any means. I listen to most of my music through CarPlay. It's at its highest quality but even that pales to the format you'll be using. We have an M340i with the HK system and then an X5 with the B&W system. The X5 is my daily driver. The HK system is very nice but woah is there ever a difference hopping in my X5 after the M340i. Not that the HK is bad - and I realize the acoustics are probably different between the two cars - but there's a noticeable difference to me. I spent some time playing around with the sound settings and getting them tuned and dialed in where I like them. I have mine set to the On Stage 3D option with the 3D effect on max. If I had to pick a single word to describe the system it would be immersive. Really, really immersive. I feel like I'm sitting in the middle of the music. The clarity and the detail of the sound is just unreal. I promise you, you'll be very pleased.
I also really enjoy the ambiance at night with the lit speakers. I wouldn't hesitate to order the system again.

holy crap that looks so good!!! now i'm even more anxious to get ours (projected feb delivery ugh).
Our F15 has the HK system and I thought it sounded great. When I was putting my build together, I didn't even consider the B&W system, but our dealer was trying to convince us to buy off the lot and the only model they had which came close to all of my spec'd features had the B&W system. At one point I just asked him if I could really listen to it and he let me and being so intimately familiar with the HK system already, I immediately picked up on exactly what you were talking about
: the presence of being inside the music. It was immediately apparent at a moderate volume. BUt then he cranked it up... and holy crap it just got better and better.
So then I went back home and I was angry I had heard that. There's no way I could now spec out a new build without it, so I had to include it. I love love love listening to music (especially if I've had a good day) and while I have a good stereo at home, its difficult to find time to crank it up and not disturb anyone else. But in the car is my time, and I'm overjoyed to get to play with this system and make my commutes that much more tolerable. Thank you for sharing! i'm gonna keep revisiting these pictures till I get mine lol
