You're buying a high quality vehicle, high quality options should be included, like surround view, m package, adaptive led headlights etc.

Has anyone here with the B&O ever heard the Individual Dirac system that was offered in the e63 M6? I had that system in my M6, and it was IMO the best system I have ever had in a car by a pretty long shot. While I had that car I did test drive a 650 with the B&O, and honestly I thought the Dirac sounded better. With the Dirac it had really good bass, and you could crank it up to the point it was blaringly loud with no distortion. Now, having said that, I will say that I do not know much about high end audio, so all I can go off of is what sounds good to me.
Another question for you guys that know what you are talking about: I have read several times that the B&O is just OK, so what in car system would you recommed as being one of the best in the business? Preferably in a more standard production car such as higher end MB, BMW, Porsche etc and not Bentley/Rolls Royce as I will have no way of trying out the sound system in one of those cars. Thanks!

As for the B&O ... I ordered purely for look as like my 2007 M6 Cab ... I want to hear the exotic exhaust tone on my 2016 Cab when she is topless ... once I upgraded to the Akra with SS catless downpipes that is ... B&O, just like my M6 Cab in AW/SO, eye candy if you will

To each it's own, I drove them 650 without the option and the 650 with the option. Compared to the what's given, the B&O is much better. I'll spend extra on the option.

Either way, as you mentioned in another post, most of the time I have the music turned all the way off listening to the awesome sound of the exhaust! Quote:
Regarding Bowers & Wilkins, the new G11 750i actually can be speced with a B&W audio system as the top of the line option. It adds in the speakers and lighting that is even more beautiful than the B&O IMO. I haven't gotten to hear it yet, but once again I will say I would probably have to order it based on looks alone. Here is a picture of the B&W speakers that I stole from member Jwestfield. He has a thread on the G11 board with some of the coolest interior shots I have seen on the new 7.

Now, I am not an audiophile, so I can't professionally judge the two, but to my ears B&O is much better, and that is all that matters. Also, coming from the previous generation X5M sound system to HK in M4, HK was much better system. Anyway, I vote for B&O for M6GC.

Drove my neighbors '15 turbo s cab with the Burm and was not blown away. Perhaps it sounds better in the coupe. There is no Q it sounds better than my 2016 B&0 but not as good as ML's that I have had in a previous 600h L.

Can you tell me why you went from the M4 to the M6GC? I'm contemplating the same. Send me a PM if you would rather not jack up this thread. Back on topic. The '16 M6 all come with the B&O system as part of the Executive package, so it's a no brainer for me. Plus, growing up in Northern Germany and Denmark, I always wanted a B&O system. Unfortunately my hearing has been damaged too much to appreciate "good" sound quality.

I found the B&O system to be among the best optioned music systems in a car and I enjoyed it alot.
Does need a bit of tweaking in the settings, especially lowering the second lowest bass setting. |

The choice was between Turbo S and M6GC and in all honesty "practicality" of the M6GC over Turbo S, if you will, tipped the scales. As much as I like the Turbo S, the current family situation with two kids, made M6GC a more reasonable choice.
