That sucks. But then, your BMWs are cheaper than anywhere else in the world...

The HK stereo in Z4s elsewhere is part of an Open-Air pack, which is just 750€ and gets you HK, DAB and a heated steering wheel. A little bizarre. Anyway, at least it's cheap and it's irrespective of the rest of the specification.

In Germany, this makes a base 30i with HK just over $60,000. The message hasn't changed for 30 years or more: Pay German prices and you can have German flexibility.
60k you pay for the car covers university and free medical care for your kids and family no? 50k here is just a car.... college tuition and medical insurance is extra....
