I know how you feel on the wait - please see my post ‘still waiting down under’ - hopefully you don’t have to wait that long!!
Ditto on the bling . I have a B&W system in my 2016 750 and really like it. I am not one looking to artificially pump out a ton of bass which I do think may be somewhat lacking if that is your goal. I believe I read that the 8series B&W will come with a microphone to allow you to equalize the sound in the cabin but I could have been dreaming. I found that Stage setting in my 7 and tweaking bass/treble and a few other eq settings makes for quite engaging listening. I have a nice (~7k) system at home that focuses on accurately reproducing the original sound of the recordings and I feel the B&W does a good job considering the listening environment is a small space moving at 70+ MPH.

Overall the lighting effects in the cabin of the 7 series (and the very similar 8) walk the fine line between cool and over the top but overall I like them.
