E92 M3 - Base sound system
Discussion
Quick question for PH as I'm hoping to confirm my order spec today 
Can anyone tell me how good/ bad/ awful the standard sound system that you get with nav is? I like my music but am by no means an audiophile and most of the stuff I listen to isn't overly bassy. To give you some context I have the business system in the Z4 which is more than adequate for me!
Thanks!

Just head over to M3Cutters to read the numerous threads on how confusing this topic is on the E9X M3 due to BMW changing the name of their sound systems over the last few years. I believe there are four stages of sound systems which have differing names.
1) Base sound system - I believe this sounds terrible.
2) Loudspeaker System - BMW Professional - This is (I think) just a speaker upgrade which takes you from base 6 speaker system to a 10 speaker system.
3) Logic 7 - This is where they switch from analogue to digital and is considered a very good system. I think its also know as a Harmon Kardon system.
4) Individual System - The mutts nuts!!
Thats how I understand the BMW sound systems line up...if I'm wrong then no doubt somebody will be along shortly to clear up any misunderstanding. I think the Logic 7 is the system that causes the most confusion as thats the system they appear to have renamed over the years.

Sounds right to me.1) Base sound system - I believe this sounds terrible.
2) Loudspeaker System - BMW Professional - This is (I think) just a speaker upgrade which takes you from base 6 speaker system to a 10 speaker system.
3) Logic 7 - This is where they switch from analogue to digital and is considered a very good system. I think its also know as a Harmon Kardon system.

Almost right, the names are slightly different..1) Base sound system - I believe this sounds terrible.
2) Loudspeaker System - BMW Professional - This is (I think) just a speaker upgrade which takes you from base 6 speaker system to a 10 speaker system.
3) Logic 7 - This is where they switch from analogue to digital and is considered a very good system. I think its also know as a Harmon Kardon system.

1) Base - poor
2) Loudspeaker system Business - essential starting point, if only for the subs under the front seats (ideal for OP's needs)
3) Loudspeaker system Professional / Logic 7 / Harmon Kardon (in my expereice, only slight better than Business)
4) Individual - suberb.
I'll put my anorak away now......
Nice thread here, thanks everyone! Sorry but I am still not quite sure so can I just check again here:
Base = what you get if no mention of upgrades in an advert is made
Business = first upgrade (love to know what it 'has')
Professional = next upgrade (how much more do you get?)
Logic 7 = Harmon Kardon which is different in some way to professional? (or is it?)
Individual is a the top spec (this one I understand)
My 'next car options' include a 2009/10 M3 (all the new electronic and s/w updates I hope by that MY) but I keep looking for the HiFi level/blue tooth and a few others bits as must-haves. Few cars seem to have logic7 where as many have professional. If they are one and the same this makes my search a lot easier (come 2013).
Cheers
