  • Harman Kardon

    Just a quick (and embarissing) question - what does the Harmon Kardon upgrade look like? I have a Business CD, no bass unit or changer, are the HK speakers different?

    To be honest I just want to know if mine is bog standard or not?

    Its not embarrassing

    The HK has a sub / amp enclosure in the boot.

    I dont have a picture to hand but mine came without!

      It soulds like it is.

      The HK upgrade included the sub and you'd definitely tell that it is fitted as it gives very good bass for a small sub. Mine has this and also has 4 rear speakers in the roof; I'm not sure if this is part of the HK upgrade or they all have them here.

      Other single upgrades would be the cd changer.

        Do you have a grille to the left of the cd multichanger, like this?

        then u have HK!
        otherwise the housing cuts back towards the back of the seats = no HK (

          Thanks, Idon;t have a sub or cd changer and hence no Harmon Kardon! I have the speakers in the roof but didn't know whether this was standard.

          Thanks for the very quick replies!

              Following this tread, I'm currently looking into a Z3MC S54 2001 Steel Grey and I have a question regarding the sound system.

              Looking at these two pictures I believe this is only the standard sound system, correct? Without the HK Upgrade and the 6CD Charger!!! Could anyone confirm this to me?

                  Thnak You Neil! Is there a big diference with and without the sub? I mean, I usually listen to music with the volume quit low...all I really like is a clear sound...

                          Thank You Neil! Is there a big diference with and without the sub? I mean, I usually listen to music with the volume quit low...all I really like is a clear sound...
                          I would imagine it makes a dirrerence, but I've not heard what the non-HK system sounds like. Also bear in mind that I got rid of the BMW head unit within days of buying the car and replaced it with a Sony unit and 10 disc autochanger.

                          My system is 7 years old but gives a good enough listening experience whether I'm listening to Hard Rock, classical music or currentish popular stuff.
                          Thank You Neil...just e-mail the guy to see if we agree on a final price (still subject to visual confirmation and a test-drive - you see, I'm from Portugal and the car is in Italy).
