Anyone know about the F10 audio set up?

Soul_Glo · 10-22-2015, 12:42 AM

Apparently it comes in three flavours:

- Base
- Hi-Fi
- Logic

The BMW website states that the 5 I am interested in has 'professional' audio. Now professional has meant many different things before in the BMW realm... so I am hoping for clarity as I have confused myself... the Whatcar website that gives a detailed break down on the audio options states that the systems are either business or professional:

Loudspeaker system, Business/Professional £415/£715
You get 12 speakers and a digital amplifier with the Business loudspeaker upgrade - worth having if you like your music – and if you like it loud, the extra for the 16-speaker 600 watt system is tempting. If you're indifferent to sounds, the 5's standard system is fine. - See more at: http://www.whatcar.com/car-news/audi....UST5W6un.dpuf

The new ones seem to be variations of the old ones
on the US after 2010 they deleted tweeter from the rears on the two
systems that had them. If you don't want to modify and you like music
get the best one Top Hi Fi L7 . If you want to go aftermarket amp and speakers
get the middle or Hi Fi as it already has an amp in the trunk and wiring to it.
Don't know when the systems change as you go up in the Series number I thought
the 3 and 5 were pretty much the same . I think they are offering a B&O system in
the upper models. These names are marketing gimmicks for instance the Hi Fi system
that I got was called the Premium System you would think that means the best.
No there are two better systems than that the L7 and the personal audio system.
What matters is speakers and watts for the most part.
