So simple but never really thought of it...
I would say that 99% of the time if I am not listening to sports talk radio, I am listening to the itouch which rarely leaves my center console except to get updated with some songs here and there. Well after always dreaming of better sound in my 528i (I have the base sound system) I just stumbled across the equalizer setting in the ipod and simply changed it from "bass booster" (no idea why it was on that) to "Latin, Classical, Dance" etc and it completely changes the quality of sound inside the car. I am so happy to have found this option lol its the little things in life I guess lol
Hope this helps a few out there who wish sound quality was a little better.....

My Ride: 545i
I have my iPhone eq set to Rock and the Logic 7 system set to Concert surround, bass at the mid point and treble all the way up.
My eq in the BMW is set to your typical V shape for best audio in my experience anyway.

You definitely didn't improve the quality, but if you like it better that way then that's great. Basically a pre-amp setting change. I prefer everything flat.
Depending on the Kbps quality you're running out of your iPod the ass end may need some help. Anything at or below 128, if converted poorly, may need it.

I try not to worry about it too much, the system being boomy or having the tin sounding highs, since I know if I want to have easy access to my collection it is in a downgraded capacity. FM isn't fair since it's an analog signal with more fidelity than a 16 bit CD. If it is a digital signal they are working with their converter is likely thousands of dollars.
