I recently got the HiFi option in my new E60 and love it. The standard UK system in my last E60 was ok but lost its way when volume was turned up high, it lacked bass. The HiFi system IMHO is great with great bass, clarity and volume.
Would any other member who has HiFi care to comment?

Also has anyone listened to or owned both HiFi and Logic 7? Can you tell us the exact differences in terms of sound quality? L7 costs over ?500 more so it must be that much better!

I dont think it goes loud enough. Especially, if the windows are down.

They can make it louder with software. There is no risk of damage. The volume goes up with speed too. They need to do some coding.

i agree .. hi-fi works for me.
what's all this "not loud enough" business? it goes plenty loud.
before getting the e60 and hearing the hi-fi option, my intention was to upgrade with off market system. as soon as i heard it, that idea seemed ludicrous.

i have had both and whilst i agree the hifi is a big improvement on the basic - the logic, in my opinion, is just superb. the clarity of the mid range is excellent and the treble/high tones seems to isolate each instrument. the equaliser allows you to adjust to your own taste which is cool. The sound is so much clearer and the sub woofers really make the bass rock!!!!!...... will allways go for the logic 7 in any future cars
