You can only hear a slight difference between the two systems in the high and low frequencies at really HIGH volume levels. Volume levels that are uncomfortable for very long, frankly. At normal listening levels the difference was very small, if at all, noticeable.
In the smaller soundstage of the 3 series I'm guessing it would be difficult to discern the difference between HK and B&W (even if it was offered).
The HK will be great in the M3/4 I'm sure.

I have the B&W now I'm my X5, it's fantastic to say the least. My X3 had the HK and I've driven a few with HK. all were disappointing to say the least.
I hope they made some big changes to the HK so it's not awful
