Exclamation F32 Questions

Hello, I am planning on picking up a 428i M sport this week and had a few questions:

1. Are the standard Bi-Xenons adaptive (do they curve as the steering wheel is turned)?

2. Is there a noticeable difference between the standard audio and the upgraded HK audio? None of the dealer's 43 428i's have the HK audio.

3. Is the lighting package and premium package worth getting, or are they just unnecessary extras?

Thanks!

1: yes
2: i have the HK audio and i love it, i have heard the standard radio and it isn't terrible, just depends how loud/what kind of music you like to listen to
3: if you're getting the leather then the premium is worth it, the lighting package i can't speak for i've never seen it in person, i personally wouldn't get them

just my two cents!

They've answered the first two as well as the premium package.
If the lighting package were like the one in EU, it would definitely be worth it. There is a video on BMW how it works. As of now, US cars only get auto headlights, fancy LED lights (which look awesome BTW) but don't think its worth $1900 as I remember.

Yes they do.

I have heard both systems. The standard system is definitely not as loud as the Harmon Kardon. I would say half the volume of the HK would be close to max on a standard.

The highs are reachable but definitely not as crisp as the HKs.
The low frequencies (bass) are not as vivid as the HK, you will feel the sound with the HK.
I would say it is worth it. But it really depends how picky you are about your sound clarity and loudness. It was a must for me because I immediately could tell as difference.

The LED lighting system I do not believe it is worth it. However, I do suggest you get the Automatic High Beams a la carte if you plan on coding. (There's an Active High Beam Assistant you can enable via coding that makes the headlight experience wonderful.) If you feel like lighting and road lighting may be your priority, then get the lighting package. Otherwise, the xenons are just as good IMO.

Premium Package, definitely. The Comfort Access is worth it alone.
