This weekend I drove my daughters 2012 528 (same EQ settings) and was blown away by how good the bass was in her car. It reminded me of why I loved the "Business class" head units in each of my X3s. Does anyone happen to know if the enclosure under the seat on the 7 is just not nearly as deep, or large? I realize that they aren't "subwoofers" but once you hear the same stuff in the 528, it's shocking how much louder and deeper the bass is. It makes sense now why I can hear the bass thumping from inside the house when my daughter pulls up, before I even get a motion alert from the Ring camera. It sounds amazing.
I've got a 2019 750 with the B&W and the bass response is excellent. Much improved over the H&K in a loaner I recently drove. It's really all about how you set the EQ. I had to boost the low end quite a bit to get the sound I wanted.
