Hand it back. Im the same as Kleev, I am always listening to music so for me it's one of the most important options for me.
Search for another with the Tech pack. You'll get the speakers and heads up display. Loads out there with that option |

It will have harmen karmen stamped on the speaker casings, if it is Harmen karmen.
Also, you have 14 days to return the car. I wouldn't take any offer unless it was to fit the genuine article. Its a optional extra at £800. There's no way you can get some form of compo in terms of service plan and install better speakers at your own cost, where it will not exceed the original price of the speakers. |

Hi Checked the official spec from BMW and clearly states loudspeaker upgrade (which is the harmen kardon)may have stopped putting the labels on the new car,rgds Peter.

That's not true at all - you will have grey speaker covers with the Harman Kardon label on them, as well as tweeters (again grey coloured) in the A-pillar

I think that's disgraceful conduct by the dealer - not only would I be handing the car back, I'd be raising a complaint via BMW UK.
If it's been a mistake they should have been honest with you, not trying to pull the wool over your eyes. |

I presume they priced the car based on the actual spec without HK? I think you will struggle to get a decent deal that will cover this including the cost of speaker upgrades and when you sell in the future.
Personally I would hand the car back. Whenever I take delivery, I knock up a checklist with all the features (inc in the model) & options I’ve spec’d and tick them off before driving away. I also then test them within a couple of days. Reason being, I’ve had a factory build delivered with a missing option and others that didn’t work! |

There is always the right car with the right options out there just depends how far your willing to travel and pay. Mine was from Croydon and I'm in Manchester but it was the right car for me so did what I needed to to get it and paid a little more than my original budget.

To upgrade the base speakers and amp will cost you between £1-2k if you can't DIY. And that will void part of your warranty. They won't offer you anything like that in compensation. Hand it back and look for another car. Tech pack is what your looking for in your next car. It's a common package and most dealers will have ticked it when building cars for stock. You have evidence stating that it has HK when they sold you the car and 14 days to return it. If the dealer doesn't budge, then if leased/PCP go straight to BMW finance - they will be worried because of mis selling as I presume HK was built into the finance package. BMW finance are quite good at pushing dealers to sort out the mess as they own the car. Dealer hasn't got a leg to stand on so be firm and don't accept any BS free deals like a service pack which is worth less than HK (because you will only use the service pack once or twice in 3/4 years) Good luck.
