I suppose it's slightly easier to set a record when you just leave parts off if you don't have them!

You can always go aftermarket. You can get much better speakers and amp from your money. This is what I did with my car. I took whatever money BMW wanted for the HK upgrade and spent it on Focal speakers and an amp that I don't remember the brand of.

(Worth a read, maybe paywalled) about how luxury car makers managed to set records despite chip shortages. |

Interesting that X6M sales were close to 10% of total X6 units manufactured. Also, X6M had more units manufactured than the X4M. Good see there is a strong demand for V8.
Should be interesting in 2 years when units sales of the upcoming XM are reported, but will BMW change how it reports by them? Does anyone know how many 7 series were manufactured for 2021, as it would be a interesting comparison to the X7 units sold?

I would say so, even if you buy a setup, you very well could keep the original door speakers if you are going that route, and just take your custom out for your next car you lease. I have a subwoofer system set up that i swap between 3 vehicles and it works great |

This just proves there is no "shortage" of cars. Simply dealers realizing this new way to sell cars yields significantly higher profit margins.

Because of the ongoing story line that there is a "shortage" of cars, supply vs demand, blah blah blah, but yet the proof is in the numbers. There are more cars than ever, but dealers love this new style of selling cars under the perceived notion that there aren't any.

Even more impressive when apparently there was no supply because of the chip crisis leading to people panic buying...oh well. It was brilliant marketing for sure! 👍🍾
Fewer chips but more cars manufactured. Who would have thought? |
