Every dealer I spoke with in this region has stated the same. Feel free to inquire locally and report back.
Excellent. Good luck with it. Those of us who are placing orders have to live vicariously through those of you who are taking or have taken delivery with BW.

I really wanted to order the B&W but just can't get past the stainless grill covers. I've only seen pictures, but with my extended black merino interior, I was afraid each and every speaker would really stand out. A bit too much "bling" perhaps. Would love to see some real world pics of your interiors showing the grills. There's still time to change my order....

Adding fuel to the fire BMW + Bowers and Willkins contradict each other.

Perhaps reach out to the Exec you have been working at BMW. I think there is a disconnect between BMW and the Company contracted to do their web site.

Same here... I think the safe bet is black especially if you have minors in the back or elderly people. I had other interiors and if you haul family around as often as I do and have an automotive affliction it will be a fool's errand trying to keep it clean in addition the grills will stand out dramatically.

Thank you; please post your findings. I am waiting on response to regarding my inquiry but I assume with the holidays there may not be any answers until next week or so.

Spoke with BMWNA today (exec office) and they have no idea which is correct. I said Bowers and Wilkins directly mentioned a system which contradicts their website but backs up their press release. The rep told me their statement is meaningless and check with my local dealer....

Hahaha.. That is awesome. I am sticking with ETK parts catalog. It is most likely the most accurate out of all the information we have to draw from at this time.

We are 70 posts in and we still don't know if its 16 speakers or 20 speakers. And now we've learned there is a conflict in they are confused too. For a $4,200 option ($210 per speaker) you would think they would get this right. Looking at it the other way, it will sound amazing regardless of the speaker count.

Totally agree. And B&W may be just slightly better than HK on radio or streaming, but on FLAC and other High Res music files, there is no comparison....B&W blows it out of the water.

How does B&W sound with Prime Music streaming? My experience with HK is Prime Music streaming sounds way better than SiriusXM. |

I haven't tried Prime Music, but will try it out. I've heard it streams at much higher quality, but doesn't have a broad selection of titles. I'll try it out though.
