Hi friends
For those of you who have the upgraded sound system through the Executive package how is the sound quality? This is the only thing holding me back on deciding which Z4 to pick. I consider myself an audiophile and don't mind paying extra knowing that it's worth it. The salesman told me it's the exact same sound system with any Z4 just the executive package adds a sub woofer. Is that true? Thanks for the insight |

I had two previous BMW’s with the HK system; the 5-Series G30 and the 4-Series F36. In each of those cars, the HK system sounded way better than it does in the Z4 G29.
Personally, I don’t think the HK system is worth it on its own. In the UK, it comes as part of the Technology Package (extra £1,800) and this includes, amongst other things, the Head Up Display, which I believe is an absolute must when specifying this car from new In other words, in the UK, to get the highly recommended HUD you need to order the Technology Package which includes the HK system and a couple of other options. Therefore, it all depends on whether or not you can order the HK system on its own in the USA. If so, you should take a test drive to see if you think it is worth the extra money. If, like in the UK, it comes in a package with the HUD, then I would take the package. |

Like Jim said, given that the audio with the HK system isn't all that great, I would be hesitant to get the 'normal' audio for fear it may be that much worse. I see it's part of the executive package in the US, not a stand alone option, so if you like the other features in the executive package you don't really have a choice anyway.

I think the sound system isn't all that good. My previous Z4 sounded much better. In fact better than aftermarket. This new system falls short. To much bass and not powerful enough. Better than most cars but not what i am use to.

This matches my feeling 100%. I definitely want to look for good aftermarket upgrades.
