The B&W upgrade on my M50i was about $3600 if I recall. It's a tough sell, but I'd say it was worth it.

For 7000 Euro? Absolutely not.

I have heard the "base" hi-fi. It's crap. It's crap on every BMW. At LEAST get the H/K. The H/K is a fine system.

My rating:
Hi-fi. 3
H/K. 7
B&W. 9.5

Crystal shifter? Not really my cup of tea, considering I went with a "sporty" theme. Perhaps on a "luxury" theme, it makes more sense. Personal preference.

Highly recommend upgrading to accoustic glass, even if you don't get the B&W. Keeps the interior quieter, and makes whatever stereo you choose, sound better.

No acoustic glass for MY21. That also includes no soft close doors or heated/cooled cupholders. And I hear glass controls no longer will include the radio knob.
