I know that most times when ever the subject of Logic 7 came up I gave it high marks but now that I have something to compare it to,its Horrible and I take it all back. We picked up my wifes MY 2006 X3 last week and set up the Premium Sound System and IMO its Fantastic. You have many more settings to make it sound that way. I wish I could put it in my 530i.
cheers

Sometimes I think it's just because it sounds different it sounds better. When I listen to the premium audio in my wife's car it sounds great, and each time I think it's as good or better than in the E60. Then I get back into the E60 and it sounds better than my wife's. In reality it's just different and each is subjectively "good" in its own way.

I don't think so There is a very big difference in comparing the two sounds. I had the both vehicles side by side listening to them .

I am glad you like her sound system so well. I assume it has, like the L7, an equalizer--which allows for infinitely many settings. So, except for more built-in settings, does her system sound better than, say, an L7 in a 5-Series? Perhaps what you are liking is better hardware--e.g., speakers and amp.

I does have a Equalizer like the L7 plus it also has settings like Room/Echo-Concert Hall- Jazz Club-Cathedral-Memo 1-Memo 2-Memo 3.There is no other words than Fantastic Sound.

The Logic 7 in my 2006 325i sounds better than the Logic 7 in my 2005 545i.


Can't explain it.... but it's true.
