That is a rip off when BMW out source their infotainment to Harmon Kardon anyway
Bull shit. They test the high end stereo, which costs the same as the low end one, knowing they will have stiffer (therefore better) interior parts when you go for the low spec options. You also don’t need different moulding tools when you’ve design for the high spec part and just have blanks for the lower spec ones, therefore it’s a tool configuration issue. Honestly, the difference between a high and a base spec is probably less than £50 to build.Mito Man wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 11:47 amBut again that’s not bad if you break it down, more powerful amplifier, more speakers which will require customised interior moulds, then consider that you can get the interior in many different colours so all of those need different moulds, then the actual speakers are more powerful so all the trim needs much testing to make sure it won’t rattle...
True that. On the e36 they all got the indents on the inside of the door card where the extra speaker sits on the expensive stereo model, they just weren't punched through unless that option was ticked.Orange Cola wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 10:09 pmBull shit.

As per my earlier reply, you need to be aiming at over 100% to beat the boxster. I'd guess a base spec BMW 116i could have a significant wedge spent on it.

Starting price: £64,725 for 2.0L petrol
End price: £125,429... for a 2.0L petrol
I think the Nomad can more than double it’s cost but I can’t currently find a price list to confirm that.
Incredible isn’t it. Oh look another page... and another...
And they’re not cheap either. Would sir like a boot liner? That’s £663 please.
