For the doors, do you think the bavsounds or focals would have better bass response? I'm less concerned about tightness and more want volume. As that's really what the HK systems lack. When I went with focal in door speakers like 10 years ago, they had a lot less bass than stock or other low end speakers. I'm assuming that's because they expect you to use a proper sub with them.

I was always surprised by people wanting up upgrade from the Harman Kardon system as I was very pleased with the OEM HK system I had on my 2017 X1. Now that I finally have my 2021 X3MC, I have to agree that the sound is missing the punch.
I was today listening to an Ultra HD stream from Amazon Music and it is definitely lacking in comparison to X1. I think the difference is that on X1 there is a subwoofer just under the front seats which made you feel every beat through the seat, whereas on X3M you cannot feel the beat punching at all. It is surprising and unfortunate. I do think that the speaker system itself produces a rather nice quality sound but the punch is missing. |

Still got the car? Satisfied with the sound?
I’ve got the LCI and the sound is terrible. With your references to Sonus Faber you got me convinced to do the Focal upgrade. Just finished install a stand alone sub so thats nice besides it sounds like a Kitchen Radio with a hell of a subwoofer 😂 Quote:

I know old conversation but since someone else brought it back to the top...
I've done 4 full BavSound upgrades. My last was my old M40i, which due to the number of drivers in the car, along with BavSound's price increase end of last year, made for easily the most expensive. I've always been happy with the Ghost subwoofer upgrade, (more of that inna bit,) but I didn't feel that I got as much value out of the m40i upgrade. It was sonically improved, but not $1600 improved. I think this time around, if I even decide to upgrade my X3MC, I might look at Focal for the doors, rear, pillars and Ghost subs from Bav. Now I have never taken my system back to stock when I've sold. Starting in 2021, (maybe earlier,) the sub enclosures use an adhesive sealing the driver to the enclosure. I've found the best way to install these is to destroy the stock drivers. Once you have the center of the driver cut out, you gain access to the bottom of the drivers to sever that adhesive. The rest of the installs are super easy if you go slow and take your time. |

You can use a heat gun in low setting and heat it up constantly moving around to avoid warping the plastic. Pry off a little at a time, heat up, pry off, heat up, pry off... Took me like 15 mins per enclosure to remove the old OE HK drivers. |

Their website will point to the focal Inside, which are fine. I installed the K2 Power (kevlar) ES 100 K kit and only needed a small plastic ring on the tweeter to mount it to the OE enclosure. The mids are also 4" so they mount directly to the door. |
