I loved this 464 watt HK so much that i decided to delay the purchase of G30 until this summer. Hopefully they will release G30 540i or the M550i with iDrive 7 and the new HK of 464 watts. I like this HK a lot better than the Burmester in my Mercedes C400.

One thing to note that in iDrive 7 BMW has dropped the 10 band EQ. It just has bass and treble settings now and hence is a lot easier to use and in my opinion.

In my view this HK is stunning and will not disappoint!
Absolutely agree. I have a 2019 X5 with HK system - and it is superb.
Bonus is - new system reads Hi res FLAC files. So buy some from HD tracks, load them on usb and plug it in - great sound.
