That's like saying that DVD audio bulds the stereo in the Acura TL.? Panasonic makes the stereo, but it uses DVD audio technology.

They said that Dolby Pro Logic is the manufacturer of the Volvo system.? Dolby Pro Logic is a technology, not a manufacturer.

Just listen to someone elses car stereo to appreciate the Logic7. Sure it is possible to get better sound in an automobile, but compared to most factory systems the Logic7 Premium Audio set up kicks ass. Especially if you use the equalizer to adjust your frequency settings. I have a 3 series loaner while my car is in service and its stereo is really pitiful.

My Ride: 535d Sport (M sport steering, M sport sills, M sport suspension, 18inch M style wheels) Carbon black, black nasca, dark wood, dechromed, folding mirrors, extended lights, sun protect glazing, grad tinted winscreen, servotronic steering, heated, ventilated active comfort seats, extended voice control, hi-fi speakers, hud, active cruise, split folding rear seats, rear electric blind, rear manual blinds visbility pack (xenons, adaptive headlights), media pack (6 CD, prof nav, bluetooth with telematics and assist)
This is all so subjective though - one can probably say a sound system is REALLY crap, but over and above that, taste is so individual. I really love the sound in my E39 STANDARD sound system. For what it's worth - I didn't go for Logic 7 as I belive that the DSP processor must add noise of some sort, and I actually prefer a natural soundstage.

No. Mercedes just charges more for the standard. 
I looked at buying an E500 before getting my 545.
It would have been $10,000 more to get an equally optioned E500 than it was to get my 545.
That's a lot of money just to have a peace symbol on the hood.

agreed MB is overpriced, but honestly speaking, BMW is ripping us off here.... they now offer Logic 7 as standard on the E90 330i, so you wind up paying $1800 for a cd changer in the 5 or 6 for that matter...

This is a fascinating discussion.....I had the "Premium" sound system in my 2002 540i, and opted NOT to get the L7 in my (arriving next week) 545. I took the time to compare the stock vs L7 systems, and didn't feel it was remotely worth $1800, especially since I don't play CDs. The stock E60 system sounded as good to me as the premium E39 system. I guess maybe I think of music more as background, especially while driving, and wait to get home to really concentrate on listening to music. I am especially amazed at people who will spend $10K plus on a car stereo, if I had that much extra I would be considering an M5....btw, for reference, I am 45, and I am a "reformed" (Linn Sondek and all that $$$) audiophile.
