I am a professional and have a degree in acoustic engineering. You can also fine tune the B&W system to such spectacular levels providing you have the ear for this level of adjustment. Surround sound with the B&W is probably the best you will ever hear in a car. You can hear the mallet strike the bass drum where in the HK system you just get a thump.

The lows are punchy and full yet still so clear. The clarity and spatial separation is breathtaking. B&W is better equipment and fine tuned that one step further for BMW. It is possibly THE best factory audio system you can get at any price point. The B&W is in a completely different league anyway you want to look at it. This in turn can muddy up the soundstage. The HK has low end but lacks any refinement and clarity. The HK system is good and should be the bare minimum of audio system at this price point. It should be noted that the guys used one of Technic’s (a well known provider of BMW integration harnesses on various forums) F30 adapter harness and it worked great.In have had both in the G05 and G07. The customer allowed SiS to take up the entire storage well so all the wires were then routed into the well, signal on one side, and power/ground from the other side. The OEM amp was removed, and in its place, SiS fabricated this simple mounting baffle for the Mosconi 6ot8DSP.

The OEM underseat enclosures were removed, taken apart and sound proofed, and the Gladen drivers installed. The Morel tweeters, just like on the E90s, were a pretty good OEM fitment to the stock sail panels.įor the underseat OEM woofers, SiS used a pair of the new and improved Gladen OEM fitment 8" drivers, these have a different basket and design and also comes with an integrated grille, to prevent debris from falling into the the woofer cone and causing a buzz. A bit of damper was then used around the midrange to help with resonance. The midrange was then installed into the door and the edges sealed with 3M strip caulk. They were then coated with several layers of truck bedliner to protect them against the elements. To mount the Morel Hybrid midrange in the stock location, SiS fabricated this custom spacer it matches the shape of the OEM midrange at the mounting flange, with a rabbetted ring on top to allow the Morel to snap directly into. It is ziptied and organized every few inches.

Every cable in the car was run down the driver side, to ensure it stays away from the OEM power cable between the alternator and the battery, traditionally a EMI hotbed. The wires were ziptied to the OEM bundles and run to their respective places. Two sets of speaker wires were run into the doors-it is notable that unlike the E90, the F30 does not have a big gap around the molex opening in the door to run wires into instead, it has a round cutout in the molex for that purpose. The front door midrange and tweeter were replaced with a set of Morel Hybrid 4" two-way components.
With the Mosconi 6to8V8 providing tuning for the system, all adjustments can be done from the front seat using a BT enabled laptop. The goal was as always to achieve a much improved overall sound quality than the OEM system. “It sounds tolerable at low to moderate volume,” says SiS’ Bing Xu, “with of course, VERY little bass response below 100hz, but when pushed even a little, the system really falls flat on its face and starts distorting.” Ken informed him that the new OEM amp is a much cheaper chip amp, compared to before and cheaper drivers are used throughout. The OEM system is a step DOWN from the E90’s. It helped make the build a smooth one week affair.) (SiS thanks Ken Ward of MusicarNW for his expertise, providing valuable insight into the car, its similarities and differences from the E90. They had worked on quite a few E90s 3 series, so for them it was a nice step forward to see a new F30 3 series for them to work with. Another example of the excellent work they do at Simplicity in Sound.
