And two outlets in the back of the center console (although those are not parallel, they are android style). |

The tank is 15.6 gals. It says right in the technical specs on the car on bmw's website. It probably has a 2.5 gal reserve.

How empty were you? When I fill my F80's from empty it's 14.2. The actual tank is 15.5 with the reserve.

Damn. Looks like I'll be upgrading it then as probably my first mod.

The primary issues with it are the same as earlier HK systems I've heard: 1. the metal HK tweeters are harsh. I've used HK tweets with expert DSP work running through them and they never stop being harsh but aren't physically that awful. It's placement and tuning. The location of the front tweeters essentially demands soft-dome tweeters unless the human listening to them really loves high notes. 2. We're too close to the driver's side speakers. This was REALLY an issue in the smaller 2, but remains an issue in the 3. My SO has a 530e and it's JUST far enough away. Echolocation causes this to always seem off at that point, and the system's use of the evil center channel doesn't help. Fade 1 step back, and two steps right (for left-hand drive) and it reduces the issue considerably in the G80 (and makes it worse for your passenger) 3. The Under-Seat woofers are underpowered in relation to the rest of the drivers. Again, I think it's less of an issue on the G80 system after living with it for a week and a half, but I still have the bass pushed further up in the EQ than I would if the power ratio was spread out better. Overall, I'm less offended by the HK system in my M3 than I have been with any other HK system I've had. And I'm deeply picky. One other note: EVERY comment about audio systems comes down to what you are listening to, what your ears are used to, and what your ears are capable of. You can run spectrum analyzers until the end of time, but most humans are NOT looking for a perfect system. They are looking for a sound system that meets their specific criteria. I don't listen to techno, rap, house, or EDM. Or Country. But I listen to almost everything else. I've heard a system tuned specifically for a guy who loves EDM. He loved it, I hated it. The professional tuner also hated it but it was what they guy wanted. I think most buyers won't notice where this HK system fails. Time will tell how much it's particular failures annoy me and what that eventually does to my budget. :-) |

Thanks bri1042 really appreciate the detailed response!
I'll obviously wait until I hear it myself, I have high hopes for it and anything is better than my wife's car. I like the sound of Klipsch horns so I'm used to a somewhat harsher sound in the highs for my music. I know the bass will be lacking; it always is in most systems. Thanks, gives me some hope I'll like it just fine for a while.

If I end up unable to live with the HK, I may again try and get them to treat me as a remote customer instead of a local one. |

Anyone else surprised that the wiper fluid comes out on the actual wiper blades and doesn't spray against the windshield? I thought my sprayer was clogged or broken, then figured out it sprays from the wiper blade.
