Premium Sound

I've seen the 2007 5 Ordering Guide (sadly without prices) and it seems that L7 will be available separately. You can get the Premium Sound Package or just L7. No option to get the CD Changer al a carte.
See the ordering guide (formatted miserably) here: MY2007 5 Ordering Guide
I may be wrong, but from my reading of it (and drawing lines around the packages as I know them) it seems that you can order Logic 7 on its own.

I can tell you one thing - regular sound system is pretty bad. It has NO BASS at all. Now, I used to listen to music on very good equipment, and I have not heard Logic 7, but anything would be an improvement over the regular sound system.

But someone there woke up and understood part of the dilemma.

The L7 system has a good amount of bass - and it can hit pretty low, but it's nothing compared to a proper home system. It just doesn't have the richness.
I've been meaning to hook up RoomEQWizard (on a laptop) and my Radio Shack meter to see about tuning the EQ, but I'm too lazy.

First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.

FWIW, I had the 6 CD unit in my 540, but it had the standard stereo unit. I cannot tell the difference between the two grades of amp componentry, but then, I only listen to classical or traditional jazz (or news). I would never pay for L7 intentionally, but it was in the car that I bought. I guess it is a must for some drivers and if you are into MP3s etc., then you'd probably appreciate it.
BTW, what do you do with the player while it is plugged in? And isn't it kinda tiny to be fiddling with while driving?
Good luck; nice number

I am seeing that the Logic 7 may be offered as a standalone option in the MY07's

Logic 7 and Pro Logic II (Logic circuits) simply take a stereo track and intelligently steer information into a multichannel configuration. They are thought to be most effective when applied to classical and jazz recordings. I still don't think multichannel formats or logic steering makes much sense in cars, and I think the idea of a center channel is nonsense in a car. Why did I buy it? I wanted the other upgrades that the L7 package provided.
My mind keeps running over a pretty big bump when I read this thread. Do we all agree that we mean "the L7 package" when we talk about L7? Or are we talking about the specific feature that is "L7".

It still appears to be offered separately on the 550 option list which is shown before the 550 heading. In the new 550 options it appears to be offered both in the package ans as Logic & only.
I am pretty sure this is the new option list for the MY07 550 because it is the same except for the 4 items from the January bulletin which lists the Night Vision, the HD radio, tire pressure monitor and the new steering wheel.
I will have to wait and see but new info seems to be coming faster now. Sloppy but fast.
