Crusty – if we had gone for the Volvo I wouldn’t have added Harman/Kardon either, as the standard Volvo system is a much better output than the standard one that BMW fits. I regretted not getting it in my last BMW but have no choice now sadly. I am really looking forward to getting back to a BMW as their engines, transmissions, driving characteristics and technology suit me down to the ground, but I haven’t ruled out the XC40 if BMW make any further changes to spec or lead time, so your info is useful.
