OK, this is what know:
DiRAC is a kind of "intelligent" audio software that controls parts of the audio hardware and originates from a Swedish company.
I've also heard somewhere that Harman Kardon has done some work with BMW but I could be completely wrong here...
Isn't there anyone who knows for sure?

Cool pic and so is the fact (at that moment), a lot of companies do the parts to a car.

But nothing is more sure, that they change and vary.

Nothing but the best will do, but the logistics has to be perfect.

And...

If I remember correctly it is made by Harman-Becker with lots of Samsung, Siemens, Hitachi, etc. parts
L7 amplifier is made by Harman-Becker, loudspeakers are made by Harman-Becker, Philips and Haes, depending on the equipment.

Interesting loudspeaker data between Hi-Fi and Top Hi-Fi

A little bit better amplifier but same size loudspeakers.

It's all about the loadspeakers...
