30i v 28i
- Thread starter Big Bad Boris
- Start date
The 2011 options list I found online says; Adaptive Lighting £360, but it has to be in conjunction with “Rain sensor with automatic headlight activation” which is another £100, although it seems the rain sensor was standard on all models apart from the 23i variants.
There have been a few good (but technical) audio threads on here recently. Related to that, but in a simpler world ‘cos that is where I live 
..... Are the speaker upgrade packages directly related to the header unit in the car? That is to say f the car has a Business CD Unit it has an upgraded speaker set up to match, and if it has the BMW Professional radio it has the higher spec £800+ speaker upgrade. (assuming the header hasn’t been changed since it left the factory of course).

Hey look at me I am a “Member”...... say no more 
While I am “on a roll” if the car has the £2k iDrive, does it have the upgraded speaker package too?

In theory they could be seperated but I believe that if you have iDrive you will have either the 676 or 677 amps...
Easy way to see if its 677 with iDrive is go to the tone settings dialogue, if you see stuff for a graphic sterilizer then its a 677 ultimo version!

The car is the as yet unidentified 30i that I am going buy once the lockdown is over. So probably safe to assume it will be a UK spec car from 2009-11
Sorry, not sure what happened there that was in answer to your “What model year? Which country of import? question.

No! My 30i has iDrive but the basic speaker package. Typical BMW everything is extra!

Generally if it’s got idrive then it’s got the 676/677 amp in the uk but as you can see it’s not guaranteed..the vin decoder will tell you anyway it will state 676 or 677 in the vin decoder for the 11 / 14 speaker systems

It's a UK car.
This is taken from the 2010 UK price list that I found online, it shows all the speakers packages as options in addition to iDrive.

Ah well, various countries various options various times..as I said elsewhere on E89 audio systems US never imported the 6 speaker version...
Depending on your preferences it would be better to buy a car with the 676 option there were lots...
Back to the age old debate of what’s more important factory fitted options or money..
Seems to me that the cars that were well spec’ed go for better money even now than those that weren’t..

These is very true better specced cars command more money and shift quicker, usually.
So is the Business speaker set up (676) a big improvement over the standard system? If so, would I be correct in assuming the Pro system (677) is better again without being anything like as noticeable as the jump from base kit to the Business kit.
