2023 BMW 7-series – Bowers & Wilkins 36-speaker Sound System Review

The real question is this as good or better than S90 B&W system?

Only through a couple of minutes hopefully he cranks some heavy ass Death Metal.

Can’t imagine what ku lo sa slowed version would sound in this. 🤩

Heard one of these in person at cars and coffee. Gave me goosebumps when i got to hear it.

I've had this in the test drive 740d I had end of july and it was just glorious imho

What is the total watt output?

this is much better than the new s class speakers which i thought was impossible, but its unbelievable

Whats wrong with all the new car designs? That all digital panel looks so out of place. They no longer look like car interiors. Paying such premium price for such horrible front panels?

Have you tried the base B and W system of the current 7 series?
My I7 only got the base version and It defently lacks of some base at the front seats 😢

Could you do a video on explaining your tiers as I'm a little lost on why this is an S and the Naim is an A tier in the Bentley. Cheers

It is possible to make up grade to my 740 2023 700 watts only 😢

How does it compare to S class burmester systems? Both basic and 4D.

Systems like this just seem gimmicky as hell. 36 speaker, but a third of them are surround sound gimmick speakers and seat rumblers. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it sounds pretty good, but these processors don't add anything to the sound in my experiences, and I just turn them off. At a certain point you're just synthesizing the presence and sound stage instead of letting the speakers do that job like they're supposed to. That back seat screen is just ridiculous rich people crap though LMAO.

What about 740 is it enough to be satisfied ?!

Marques Brownlee just reviewed this car in the electric version and said that the sound system is mediocre for the price and that MayBach's Burmester 4D is much better. well, I would say that they are tuning choices, each brand with its vision, in terms of systems capacity I think they are equivalent, maybe the BMW with a slight advantage in some points. That BMW system is more neutral, balanced, more open and spacey too, however with the Burmester 4D you get an overall more musical sound, a little warmer maybe, the I7 seems to pull a little bit to a little cooler side, I think it was on purpose, it generally brings more openness and general detail, with Burmester 4D maybe you also have more “punch” and more fun but without losing too much naturalness. In general, that's it. English is not my native language so please excuse any mistakes.

the DSP is clearly not optimized for the rear seat. I guess the area behind the seat and below the rear glass is acting as a mid-bass chamber (very boxy tone)

Perfect videos my guy. Would appreciate if you would review the raptor ranger sound system in your next videos. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼👍🏼

seems like the sound system is good as my RAV4 LE

i tried the bower and wilkins a few weeks ago, and its definitely the best system ive heard.

Bowers and Wilkins are just something else

Favorite part of your video are when you get to Aimless Lyrics

I listened to this at an auto show. Literally the best system I’ve ever heard in my life. I was also coming from a 12 speaker Bose system in my Sonata lol

Man please,audi a8/s8 d4 bose 14-speakers

It better be an S Tier at this price. Thinking it might be a good idea to start listing vehicles by price class. Anything less than an S in this class would be an epic fail. Putting an S Tier in an under $60k vehicle would be something to be applauded.

Wow, 36 might be a new record. Despite having 2x the number of speakers as the BMW i4, it doesn't sound twice as good...

Hey Charlie, any leads on the Integra ELS system? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on it, as I'm considering a Type-S.

Oh Charlie thank you so much!! Been really waiting for this one :))

36 speakers? This is meant to a car not a concert hall
