Hi-Fi now standard for 2012; opinions?

I've noticed no difference in the base audio from my 2011 to 2012.

That's odd. BMW indicates that there was a change between 2011 and 2012 model years for the Base Audio System. Do you mean that it sounds the same to you, or is it exactly the same?

I just gave back a 2009 X5 with base audio and picked up a 2012 X6 with premium sound. I was expecting "significant" difference in the sound quality, but to be completely honest its not significant at all. Very modest upgrade at best, definitely not worth the $$. I could have better spent the $$ on an aftermarket system and seen, or actually heard, much better results.

just my $0.02
