Well, as a regular reader and member of this excellent site, and a lover of my E60 535d - i think it's probably time to introduce myself properly!

I am hugely into Bang & Olufsen AV - to the point that i own a business selling it here in the UK, and also run a fairly large website devoted to the brand called BeoWorld.

As both products are what can be safely described a 'Premium Brand' i wondered how many other e60 forum members were into B&O ?

I really like B&O. They are a premium brand and sell top quality. I also love their design, but not their prices.

Same here, Iceman.

I've been aware of B&O and their excellence in design and manufacture since the early days of stereo. Glad they are still designing and building beautiful equipment.

Nissan are more reliable than BMW, and cost less - same with Toyota and in fact a few more brands.

However, it's all about the design and whole feel of the brand - as well as the prestige. It's a Lifestyle choice - so i see BMW and B&O as very similar in their ethos !!

Here's another B&O fan!

As we will expand the house during the autumn there will be more gadgets build into the walls from B&O...

I have that phone as well. Great phone sound and overall feel. All i have from the are their head phone A8, and the Bluetooth headset and all of their home phones, even the old 1401 corded series. Great items love them all but hate to pay for them...
