What Brand is the BMW Car Audio System?
2 Answers
The brands of BMW car audio systems are: American Bose, Harman Kardon, and Danish BO. Car audio systems are installed to alleviate the boredom of drivers and passengers during travel. Taking the BMW 5 Series 2021 530Li Leading M Sport Package as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5106 mm, width 1868 mm, height 1500 mm, with a wheelbase of 3105 mm. The BMW 5 Series 2021 530Li Leading M Sport Package is equipped with a 2.0L 252 horsepower L4 engine, with a maximum power of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
My own BMW 5 Series came equipped with a Harman Kardon sound system. I remember the salesperson emphasizing this 16-speaker surround system when I was choosing the car. In fact, BMW uses different audio brands depending on the model: base models usually come with unbranded standard audio, mid-to-high trims mostly feature Harman Kardon, while top-tier models like the 7 Series may come with Bowers & Wilkins. From my experience, the most noticeable aspect of Harman Kardon is its incredibly solid bass—when listening to rock music, the drumbeats make the seats vibrate. Also, it's worth noting that some limited editions come with B&O, like the M8 Competition with its signature red metal grille speakers. I’d recommend testing the audio system before buying, as it’s impossible to retrofit an OEM audio system with factory protocol later.
