Enough people have complained about this in the past and BMW did offer a partial money refund. http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1037457 |

Oh I agree with you 100%, it does not make sense. But that is the way most Car manufacturers work. They are not in the Car Parts business, they are in the car business. What they price an option at does not necessarily reflect what said part cost them. The car is priced as a whole and the option prices are tinkered to have the car come in at a certain price range. Some car manufacturers do it differently. Scion comes to mind as allot of their options are A la carte and will cost the same no matter what car you put them in.

I had fully loaded F30 328 series before M235 (Has HK and Leather option only).
1. HK Audio. Meh. As other posters, it's crippled version. Lately though I enjoy sound of engine more than music so my speaker is off. Yes, even pumped engine noise is still very enjoyable compare to N20's diesel like engine noise. 2. Luxury Pack: Again. Meh. First few weeks I kept touching door handle to unlock the car. It does come in handy, but not worth the money. Folding side mirror is good to have.... Wish I had: Parking Sensor. Car is small and easy to park. But I scratched my front bumper 5 hours after drove my car from dealer lot. Sum street bum left broken cart part and I dind't see it Cost me $300 to fix it. Not sure if I miss it or not: Tech Package. My F30 came with HUD. M235 is fast... On the Freeway, I do easily 100 lol. I set speed alert 'gong' sound at 100. But it would be nice to see how fast I drive without looking down. Navigation.. I don't miss a bit. But then again, HUD is not option for 2s, so I guess this is pointless. |

The US base audio system is pure crap.
BMW should absolutely ashamed about putting that audio system in any priced BMW. The HK option is a must have simply because of how awful and bad the base system is. As for the price tag being the same as what's in my F30 335i, yes BMW should have to answer for that. The issue isn't the speaker count really, because the 3 series HK system doesn't need that many speakers to begin with, the issue is that the 2 series HK system has almost half the power from it's amp. That makes for a big difference in audio quality. With more power comes clarity even a lower volumes. There is more reserve to drive the bass and subs to a more appreciable level and quality, and at higher volumes a more powerful amp provides lower distortion levels as volume goes up. In my 335i HK I do have the EQ, but it's quite limited in improving the sound. It also has "logic 7" surround, which I simply dislike VERY much. Logic7 attempts to artificially create a stereo sound field at each seating position using phasing and delay algorithms. The result is a truly artificial sound field that lessens clarity and upper frequency articulation. I never use it. The reason for all of those speakers in the 3 series is mainly for the Logic7 effects. Since the HK in the 2 series doesn't have Logic7, then it really doesn't need the extra speakers. But it could sure use a higher powered amp to drive the bass and sub bass cleaner and louder. I've done car audio myself in my cars and friends cars and the best audio quality came from |
