Oh Charlie thank you so much!! Been really waiting for this one :))

Perfect videos my guy. Would appreciate if you would review the raptor ranger sound system in your next videos. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼👍🏼

I've had this in the test drive 740d I had end of july and it was just glorious imho

Can’t imagine what ku lo sa slowed version would sound in this. 🤩

Where does the (BMW 760i) B&W premium (18-speaker system) fall in comparison to the Diamond and others? Always enjoy your vids! And, Thanks in advance :)

Marques Brownlee just reviewed this car in the electric version and said that the sound system is mediocre for the price and that MayBach's Burmester 4D is much better. well, I would say that they are tuning choices, each brand with its vision, in terms of systems capacity I think they are equivalent, maybe the BMW with a slight advantage in some points. That BMW system is more neutral, balanced, more open and spacey too, however with the Burmester 4D you get an overall more musical sound, a little warmer maybe, the I7 seems to pull a little bit to a little cooler side, I think it was on purpose, it generally brings more openness and general detail, with Burmester 4D maybe you also have more “punch” and more fun but without losing too much naturalness. In general, that's it. English is not my native language so please excuse any mistakes.

To be fair there's quite a few variables that make a difference to the audio system such as the type of music being played, the file type such as MP3 or lossless (FLAC/WAV) and equaliser settings etc. Both systems are obviously top tier when it comes to in car factory audio systems but there's no definitive answer as to which one is the "best". Some may choose the Burmester in Mercedes whereas other looking for a more natural sound stage may prefer the Bowers & Wilkins in BMWs so it really comes down to personal preference I guess.

In my opinion more speakers are just a waste of ressources. Manufacturers should offer systems not based on number of speakers and watts. I always buy aftermarket speakers and install them with a new amp and subwoofer. It is just cheaper and the result meets my needs just better. If u consider that the systems u buy in those flagshipps are so expensive just consider the amount of money u could use for high end aftermarket speakers. I would buy with a 5k budget 6 speakers in a 3 way system.

@v12-s65

@@Niclas0299 well you need a certain amount of speakers to create the basis of a good sounding system. There are 4 different speaker types which all of them are needed for a good setup: subwoofer, woofers, midrange and tweeters. Now my car has a 3 way front door setup including a woofer, midrange and tweeter. The rear doors use a midwoofer and a tweeter. Then there is a sub under the floor and you're gonna need speakers in the center plus rear quarters. If you add all up it comes to a total of 17 speakers and sounds brilliant. Those high end systems have a 3way setup for every door, tweeter/midrange combo for every corner and additional speakers in the headliner. That easily adds up to 20+. Indeed some wouldn't be necessary but it all depends on how well it's been tuned. The Burmester uses 2 woofers which are mounted into the chassis and indeed the bass is inferior compared to the other car with door mounted woofers and a real sub.

@@v12-s65 I agree at some point. Even though some people argue that u don’t need a rearfill I think it sounds more rich and volume is way higher. But to be honest with a super strong frontsystem u really don’t hear anything from the back anymore except u put the same speakers in the back. Center is also fair to be considered. But if I see those stupid 36 speaker systems I just don’t see the point if manufacturers get in the right direction. They use cheap components and correct the sound with amps. People who have no clue about Hi-Fi just see the figures like power and speakers and get trapped in this marketing gag and think more is better. It is the opposite less speakers more quality high end amps and there u go.

@@Niclas0299 sometimes those speaker brands just throw shit into a car and call it a day. I had two Meridian systems - 380w stereo without center and rear quarters - now a 825w surround with coaxial speakers in the rear plus center The difference is like day and night. The soundfield was much narrower in the back compared to the new car and also at higher volumes the bass would decrease. Imo for rear passengers you totally need speakers behind their heads to create a surround stage. With the new center you get a much more balanced experience, you don't identify the sound coming from either the right or left side. Imo a wonderful system, because every seat gets the same amount of quality, which lacks in a lot of other in car audio systems.

On the BMW website, it says this stereo has 40 speakers. But the Bowers & Wilkins website says this stereo has 36 speakers. I can’t figure out the discrepancy.

The real question is this as good or better than S90 B&W system?

Bass frequencies amplify in vehicle cabin, and the further away you are from the bass drivers the more amplified the sound is. This effect is called cabin gain.

Most people don’t need high end audio in their car and most people do not know how a good system really sounds. U can get S Class sound with much less than 5-7000 euros.

Systems like this just seem gimmicky as hell. 36 speaker, but a third of them are surround sound gimmick speakers and seat rumblers. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it sounds pretty good, but these processors don't add anything to the sound in my experiences, and I just turn them off. At a certain point you're just synthesizing the presence and sound stage instead of letting the speakers do that job like they're supposed to. That back seat screen is just ridiculous rich people crap though LMAO.

I listened to this sound system today in the 7 series and it was garbage no way near worth 4800. The stock harmon Kardon sound system sounded better in the 8series since thats all I could test because they didn't have a single 7 series without the bullshit sound system.
