Bavsound upgrade hardon kardon

I really wanted the Bowers and Wilkins. But where I live to get the Bowers and Wilkins with the color combo I wanted it wasn't happing. unless I shipped a car from CA or order one. Anyway I've heard both stereos and either one is by far the best car stereo I've ever had that came in the car. Was wondering how worth it or if its worth to upgrade to the Bavsound. If so do I do the speakers, subs, and amp. Just asking because it starts to get real pricey. Wondering if there are better options or a different route that makes more scents.

Thank you

I've installed at least 2 BavSound upgrade on F90 M5 with HK and a few on G30 with HK, which are the same cabin and speakers layout.

All of my customers has been very happy with it.

On the other hand, customers who opted to B&W, has been complaining about missing bass and having a hard time to dial down the high.

B&O was a bit better in clarity, but the high is about the same to B&W.

Both are not good if you like to listen to pop, rock, rap, hip-hop, etc that require some mids and more lows.

That's just my 2 Cents. Hope it help answer your question.

Nope, just speakers and sub.
Customer ended up adding trunk woofer though for more kick on the bass.

I checked into Bavsound a few months ago and only the speakers are available for the 2020 F90. I don't think the amp upgrade is compatible.
