All the kit processing (Quantumlogic etc) and amplifying this is Harman.

Lesbian soccer moms loved these things, I have neighbors who still own one but they drive their jeeps more now.

I did not know there was lesbian soccer. Do they kick the balls extra hard or avoid them completely?

OP says BMW lost their way with Bangle butt (which was 20 years ago) styling so she bought a Minivan. That is an equation that does not add up unless the answer is"troll".

You know this may have been the best post OP ever created during their tenure on the forum.

I know the X7 (in the video) comes w/acoustic glass. Does the X5 have as well?

I concur. They remind me of the E46 CS wheels!

Harman certainly has the capability of building World-class products. Remember that under the umbrella lives brands such as Arcam, Lexicon, Mark Levinson and Revel.

The new pinnacle in factory audio systems will likely be the upcoming 2025 Infiniti QX80 Autograph with the Klipsch/Panasonic 24-driver system. The whole platform is a massive step up from the current QX.

I'm surprised Klipsch is paired w/Panasonic. At least for home audio, Klipsch is in the same "Premium Audio Company" as Onkyo/Integra and Pioneer/Elite.

I guess Panasonic is looking for work now that Acura has dumped them!

In 2025 X5, i believe so (~99.9% certain).

Well, so as already mentioned, X Plaid is a toast (toaster, in literal sense, but the 2.5 sec is indeed intoxicating).

G07, it is. X3 and X7, both b58 (1st and 3rd gen's). At least now i can have little bit of that OS 8.5 and not have to be pissed off every time in X3 because no (wireless) android auto. And actually have a useful mybmw app for a change with trips and mpg, etc.

The wheels could have been better, but it's free... lol and square setup for a change.



Since this is such a garbage thread, just piling on some more, haha...

The silverstone interior with skyscraper grey metallic seem descent combination,





but gotta do something about the side mirror caps... must resist more mods on the wife's x7...

I thought all of those home audio brands he mentioned were pretty much entry level shite?

And the other labels that HK owns per biz77 are mostly top shelf grail products to my knowledge

Maybe a misinterpretation on my part

When it comes to car audio, I don’t get too excited over “high end” names. The rep of the home audio brand doesn’t always translate for car audio.

^ here it is
It’s not like they’re taking home audio setups and installing them in a car.

If I couldn't find the X3 M40 I was looking for, I wouldn't get another BMW. Probably would lease and SQ5 or GLC AMG or something, until BMW stopped forcing everything into ugly, cheap, single (actually 2 piece) screen. I'm OK with most of the other changes, but that screen is a deal breaker for me.

Enjoy your new vehicle, and BMW loves to do stuff like this, eventually making it much better with refinements.
