One caveat is he also did the Bavsound amp as well which doesn't apply to the 8-series (or any other iDrive 7 based car).

He was arguing I should just go with HK and do the Bavsound upgrade. However, after demoing the B&W I scratched that idea completely. 🤣
Why doesn't the amp apply? I'd totally go B&W if I could, but BMW has decided its not an option for me. So HK and maybe an aftermarket upgrade is the best I can do. I know Bav says you don't really need to use their amp anyway as just the speakers should be enough.
