If you read the 7 series forums, people were having the amp failing on the B&W systems, so I wonder if BMW dialled back the bass a little at higher volumes to protect the amp?

You can read my take on it here:

I decided to add some 8" Subs to help reinforce the bass at higher volumes.

I like the mids and highs better in B&W. I absolutely agree that bass is a little weak and you can definitely notice bass roll off.

I am adding a subwoofer also this Friday. I decided to go with a single JL 8w7. Should be plenty of bass
