I'm on the same boat, I think it sounds mediocre (in the GRAND scheme of things) as well, but in comparison to 80-90% of the other cars, its really not all that bad.
I've heard many speakers and amps worth WELL into the 5 figures, and yes it does absolutely blow this OEM stereo right out of the water, there is no comparison, but I dont think anybody that bashes this stereo, that whole-heartledly is really being realistic. Mind you I've never auditioned every BMW, Benz or Lexus stereo, but to compare this with the "Premium" sound system option of other cars, its not too shabby at all.
