Sound quality has really ramped up by high end luxury manufacturers since then. IMO it's a waste of time to do a mod or upgrade to the sound system of a convertible. A quiet X5, maybe. BTW, while our X5 is in the local BMW Collision center being fixed we got a new Dodge Durango loaner from Enterprise. Man are we spoiled in every which way! The "sound system" sounds like the crap of the 60's, just awful. |

I think the sound system is quite good. Have the same (HK) in my X5 and of course that sounds a lot better, but this is a convertible. I´m sure they struggled getting this to sound as it do.
I do have a scratching sound going full bass, probably a loose speaker-cover... |

Yes the sound system in the new Z4 is not that great. My last gen Z4 had the best sound system i have ever heard. Flac files are only marginally better. Xm is horrible. But my recent spotify upgrade is indeed better than the usb drive music. Seems a bit louder.

I must have a tin ear, because with just a few tweaks of the equalizer, I think the HK stereo in my Z4 is excellent.

Nice taste in cars with same car as mine. And the M4 color i would have picked. But yes your ear does not have the same taste. Listen to a older Z4 2014-2016 with premium sound and you will be shocked at the sound. Bass hits as hard as a real aftermarket system.
