From bmwusa.com
" It's a sound experience as remarkable as the BMW driving experience. Unlike traditional stereo systems, the optional Harman Kardon surround sound audio system uses vehicle-specific equalizing, and a powerful 600W amplifier, to deliver powerful, high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth. The result: a scintillating audio performance that pumps the highest definition soundtrack to the open road. The 16-speaker system also includes six tweeters, six mid-range speakers, two bass speakers located under the front seats, one mid-range speaker and one tweeter in the instrument panel. "

even if you ordered the 850 option for the Harmon Kardon you did not get it. Evidently there is no place to put the additional speakers and it was meant for four door cars. There is a forum on this that is quite extensive. BMW is paying 350$ for those who ordered the upgrade and did not get it. The system we have is 360 watts, twelve speakers and no equalizer.

I had not seen the 360 watt figure - I assume that's for the HK?

I am trying to ascertain the stock system's power output, but have been unable to find it...

Check out http://www.bmw.harmankardon.com/en/v...technical.aspx

Looks as though this is the HK landing page for 1 series offering which look similar to 2 series (360W, 12 spkr)

Other models have come with a 205w hifi system vs the 360/600w HK systems.
