Just curious, how is the Bowers and Wilkins audio system in the I5? Is it any where near the sound in the 7 series?

Haven’t heard the 7 Series Sound System yet, but i can say the Bowers and Wilkins sounds good. Not GREAT. At first I was a bit underwhelmed by them. They were loud and had clean mids but it felt like the low end wasn’t thick enough. So I played around with the Tone settings and enabled Logic 7 Surround Sound, and THEN it started to sound really good. Loud, Wide, Clean, Bass was a bit punchier. It’s really good for the average person, but for an Audiophile, It can be better.
I imagine this is why everyone wants the Diamond Surround Sound option from the i7. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. However I am also aware that the Speakers Power have a pretty significant impact on the Cars battery life. So we’ll see what BMW does in the next few years with this.
