WOW. If the audio engineer who designed and signed off on that POS in the 2 series were in the car with me I would have slapped him hard or maybe thrown him out of the car.
The base audio system is so f'ing bad that I question my choice for choosing BMW. 
Simply horrid. It has no definition, no clarity, and don't try to turn it up past a normal conversation volume level as it will fall apart completely. I've heard better sounding boom boxes from Walmart.
I also recently heard the B&O system in an Audi S3.
VERY nice. It is better than the HK system in my F30 335i, and my HK.
I have not had an opportunity to listen to the HK system in the 2 series. |
And this is why I shake my head at people in this forum who say the HK isn't worth it. Is it a slap in the face to have to pay for a decent system? Yes. Is the base sound system livable? Hell No.
