The 135i in the USA doesn't come with Logic7. The 135i comes with 10 speakers. The Logic7 has 13 including a center speaker. The 135i doesn't have a center speaker. I did alot of searching on this and I don't have the time now to go into details..................

Well, some details would be appreciated, because that is exactly what we are missing.

Nordique14's point is actually valid, as the BMWUSA website has done some flip-flops. At first it said Logic7, then it didn't, but it again plainly states the available upgraded audio IS Logic7.

In the end, if it sounds good and I feel it was worth the money then I'm happy.

If I'm traveling faster than the speed of sound, will I still be able to hear Ghosts of Pasha on "Hi Pink Gorilla"?

even if the audio sucks and i feel ripped off for 875$, ill still take delivery. you guys seriously going to worry about that on the test drive? i am solely gunna worry about the rest of the car, like performance and handling, after all, thats why i'm buying it. not because of the maybe-logic7-audio system.

just wondering what the plan was if you did decide it sucks. :shrug:

You find an aftermarket stereo set-up that is better and more afordable. I have a Logic 7 in my BMW and it is very good, but we install an Alpine stereo and new pioneer speaker in my wife's BMW and her system is a vast improvement over my logic 7 and it cost me $585.00

Is this the 2001 BMW you mention in your Sig? As if so I don't think that's a fair comaprison to the current one with Subs under the seats etc. I reckon the system in the 1 series is going to sound good.

I thought the Harmon Kardon system in my old Mini was fantastic for Ģ350ish.

The Premium Hi-Fi has 10 speakers including 2 subwoofers.
It has a Harmon Kardon DSP multi channel amp with upgraded metal cone speakers.
4-4" woofer/mids
4-1.5" tweeters
2-8" subwoofers under the front seats.

I sat in and looked at a 135i 2 weeks ago and was feeling under the seats. I did feel metal grills that covered the sub, but I can't imagine HOW? they get bass in such a small enclosure?

Anyway, I don't think I will get the $875 Premium Hi-Fi until I can compare regular and Premium with a few of my CD's and can actually hear a big difference.

Nowadays you can keep your factory head unit and the factory look, and add a better amp and speakers to greatly improve the sound.

I WILL NOT change the head unit and the factory looks. I HATE changing the dash. It looks BAD.

I read that the HD Radio option is really very clear and its free for the reception, unlike Sirius/XM radio. I had XM in my Acura and loved it, but $150 a year, NO thanks.

the stereo is not a make or break for getting the car or not... but it is a make or break for getting the upgraded stereo option...

Its not that big of a deal but I would like to be able to order the option and not have it sit in a stereo shop for a few days while the stereo get fitted...

My CA is assuring me 100% that it is logic7 on the 1. Can anyone with a car in possession verify this?

Well I have the Professional Stereo system in my 120d (the same as is in the coupe here) and it has a Logic 7 logo on the Surround Sound settings screen. It also has 10 speakers, including 2 in-floor subwoofers and a graphic equaliser.

It may be that 'Logic 7' is a certification standard for HK and may require a 'central' speaker (as exists in the larger cars).... I don't know. The logo is there despite the words 'Logic 7' not appearing on any brochure or spec sheet...

What I DO know is that is sounds terrific, which is all that matters

Cheers,

Paul

logic 7 gets a different amplifier that runs on the most bus. should be a long rectangular box and should be in the left side of the trunk behind the panel.
