IMO, the DIRAC processor goes too much out of the way to make the sound lifelike. Which it will be great if I were in a live concert in a stadium, but I am not. I am in a car, enclosed in a cabin, surrounded by external noises and with speakers under my ass.

Logic7 simply takes that into account and forces the sound to adjust to the car. The result is basically what you are hearing, much better sound, balance, presence and impact in the car. That's the reason the JBL MS-8 (with Logic7) works so well in BMW, the reason that I replaced my old M3 EPS with a MS-8 and the reason that I am not getting the EPS in my new M3... I will be installing the same MS-8.

Perhaps that's the reason BMW dropped DIRAC and is doing B&O now.
What is DIRAC? B&O? MS-8? I have a 2011.5 so what system comes with that EPS?
