The system in the 2019 430i loaner responds very differently than my 2014 335i. The biggest difference my car has is the big hole in the response between under seat woofers and door midrange is simply not there. The frequency response is MUCH more linear in the 2019 F32 than my 2014 F30.

I can already hear people ask- how do you have the F32 set Glenn?

As a starting point I flattened the EQ and Bass Treble controls. Then I activated L7 processing. After listening for two days (at least 10 hours), I can sum things up so far this way... Although I'm definitely not in love with the performance of the system, I REALLY don't like what almost any of the adjustments do to the sound. I'll have the car until at least Wednesday but right now the system is flat except +1 click on the two lowest EQ sliders (100 Hz and 250 Hz I believe).

This isn't intended to provide a strong tuning recommendation as much as its intended to communicate that these two systems are very different in the bass region at least.

Rock on. 🤘🏻
The 4 and 3 have different sound systems it isn't a difference in model years. This is confirmed on H/K website.
