I can't imagine what you are all hearing. The HK sound system in my 2011 135i vert is the poorest factory system I have owned and heard in the past 20 years. It sounds so anemic at normal levels and tweaking the equalization does not help. I'd love to find a way to get decent sound out of it but all retrofits proposed so far tie into the speaker connections and re-equalize and amplify from there. I'd like to hear from anyone who has managed to improve on it without losing some integrated function.

The Bose in my 350Z vert was great in comparison and, with the roof down, you could crank it yet is was never painful. HK should take a lesson and put some engineering into the sound quality in addition to the gadget integration.
