The only real test is to put them side by side and compare. I cannot imagine the premium audio could be made that much better, at least not for the listening I do (... I'm not a super audifile but like nice clear sound).

Considering it costs $950
It's well worth it It sounds about the same as the 1900 premium audio I had in my 2012 M3 Great treble Tight bass Clear midrange Well worth every penny spent on it

I have the base (business) audio and wished I'd paid for premium. Compared to my previous E83 model with the business audio, it feels less clear at the top end with too much bass. The radio certainly seems worse. I'm guessing the premium would be better.

I do not have the premium sound. However, I only play music through Sirius or the bluetooth audio so I don't really feel like I've been missing out.
There is a noticeable decrease in sound quality using Sirius and because it is the source, I don't think the upgrade would help much there. For my uses standard has been more than enough. |

Premium sound offers cleaner sound in bass, mid and treble. It also offers an equalizer to fine tune all ranges. There are more speakers and an extra sub-woofer. Good $875 investment!

You're probably missing the internal hard disk. I have it but instead use the glovebox USB port (e.g. USB stick or iPod Touch) for music.

Just got the basic sound here, its OK, use the USB port so have plenty of choice to listen too, the DAB is also good too.
But now looking at after-market options here in the UK there seems some viable ones so will be looking to get theta done sometime soon. - Will feedback once its done.
