Is Bowers & Wilkins dashboard logo illuminated?

Ryno 27 · 12-09-2020, 06:06 AM

For those that have the option, can you please confirm whether or not the logo that’s on the dashboard speaker is illuminated? On the X5 it is, however in my M5 it is not. Thanks.

To be honest I didn't really paid attention, but I think that it's not illuminated.

Only the side speakers are illuminated.

Let me clarify, the text “Bowers & Wilkins” is illuminated in white. That’s what I’m inquiring about

Alberta · 12-09-2020, 09:36 AM

That's what I understood.

I'm not sure, I'll check on mine and let you know.

Pretty sure the answer is no - just the speakers.

Ordered my M5 and got the BW sound system. Really like the lighting on the speaker grills. Is this thread referring to the center speaker behind the center screen? I never quite noticed it every time I sat in the M5 since it's hidden esp with the LCI's larger screen. I take from here that that is the only speaker not lit up but that's fine. I might be the only few that miss the F10's screen being embedded into the dash. Besides that I think the F90 is a huge improvement in every sense.

Just the tweeters and midrange illuminated, and only while audio is active. Turn off stereo and they go dark.

Confirmed, it is not illuminated. I would assume that it would reflect off the windshield and be distracting if it was illuminated.
