The BMW X3 Thread

Really , we went from the X3 Hifi which is garbage bass cuts off after 70% volume etc to the X5 HK and it’s amazing besides the mid range
Yeah, X5 has more speakers and a higher rated amp. But midrange still a problem as you say.

Same amount of speakers, but amp is around 100w higher on X5.

Edit: still rather have the HK over Hifi, but the inconsistency of HK across models is bad

But tested the X3 HK, it was miles better than the Hifi option just could not get it due to the chip shortage at the time.

Bass and clarity is the biggest upgrade so much that I can ignore the mids being inconsistent
