BMW M3 and BMW M4 Forum - View Single Post - Harman Kardon option

Did anyone else notice the option on the F80/82 for the "Harman Kardon surround sound system"? On the E90/92 the audio upgrade was "Enhanced Premium Sound". Having owned both a 335is with the Harman Kardon and an M3 with the Premium Sound I'm really happy that they are bringing the Harman Kardon to the F80/82 M3. Personally I think the Premium Sound is horrible in comparison to the Harman Kardon. No bass or mids and very "bright". Good for listening to music at low volumes but does not do well when turned up. Also the Harman Kardon is over $1,000 cheaper than the Premium Sound.

It's sad to say but this is one of the few areas I think they improved on with the latest iteration.
