100% agree

I remember my friend telling me how much more they paid for the "premium" Harman Kardon system upgrade in their e46 and it was TERRIBLE even at low volume.

I've said this many times and will continue to do so: Anyone that thinks the factory system in an e53 era BMW sounds good just hasn't heard anything decent. And when you do, you'll realize how bad it really is.
