Offline  | BMW always seem slow to put stuff in their cars...the M3 has a DVD for the nav but they still give you a CD rom  and whilst the widescreen monitor in thr car looks cool the menus are a pain to navigate...I'll have a dig round...plus I'll have a listen to w's demo (I think it has HK) as long as Paul has finished with it  Black to the future.... |

Offline | BMW HK is sh*te Washy - I had the 11 speaker version which includes a sub. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the MINI HK. Don't listen to a bloke who reckons the Volvo factory system is good. If you really want to compare them properly have all settings on flat and turn the volume up. 260909  |

Offline | Maybe I should clean my ears out and go and listen again I must be missing something The HK in my Beemer was far superior to the MINI one and that's saying something as that was only just adequate. Maybe it's because you had more flexiblity in the settings that you could utilise the system as best as you could whereas the MINI system your limited to the pre-sets It isn't stopping me getting it though MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those.............

Offline | I really wanted a Boxter S...instead of the M3, but spent a glorious day test driving both and in the end went for the M...I still couldn't say why though...It just felt right somehow....Maybe next time (Still a stonking car though  Having said that if I could afford it I would be on the list for a new Aston..... Black to the future.... |

Offline | yes all that weird REM stuff has frequencies that have successfully dislodged some wax in your ears, thus blocking them .What settings did you have on the Beemer HK? I thought it was just bass, treble, balance and fader (oh plus the loudness button). DSP with BMW professional added the effects didn't it? 260909 |
