Maybe the B&W option just isnt selling well on the lower trims? imo, they should make the B&W system as standard equipment.
Totally agree with you!

I don't get it either, perhaps they're restructure G05 packaging again next year after the market and supply channels rebound.
My gut feeling is that it's a Harman part supplier issue as the limited B&W units are being allocated to the M50/M's. The electronic wiring is the same for the G05/G06/F95/F96.

Harman International is the exclusive global representative for Bowers&Wilkins technologies to the automotive OEM sector on an exclusive basis.
