What brand of audio system is used in the BMW 3 Series?
2 Answers
The BMW 3 Series is equipped with a Harman Kardon audio system. Taking the 2021 BMW 3 Series 320i as an example, its body dimensions are 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2851mm and a fuel tank capacity of 59 liters. The 2021 BMW 3 Series 320i features a double-joint spring strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 156PS, a maximum power of 115kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've driven several BMW 3 Series models and found their audio systems quite impressive. The standard configuration usually comes with BMW's basic factory audio system, which delivers clear sound but lacks richness. For upgrades, many models offer the Harman Kardon premium system as an option, featuring 16 speakers and a 600-watt amplifier, delivering deep bass and crisp highs that make pop music sound particularly engaging. However, this isn't a free upgrade - the optional package costs around 20,000 yuan, so it's important to clarify the configuration when purchasing. For young people, I think Harman Kardon is worth the investment - it provides great stress relief during long drives with immersive music. But the basic version is also sufficient, and saving money for a navigation system might be more practical. Car audio technology evolves quickly, and many cars now compete fiercely in sound quality. While BMW's overall audio performance isn't top-tier, its surround sound effect from the driver's seat is excellent, making it perfectly adequate for daily use.
