I see what you mean, but honestly the 5 series was even BETTER than my home theatre.

The power was insane. The bass was thundering. The dynamic range wider than the universe.
I literally felt like being in a true cinema and I would often sit in the car in the parking lot just to listen to one more song or watch one more video.

But BMW purposefully lowered the quality. The 8 series has the "same" (visually) Harman Kardon system, same grills and logos, but clearly fewer speakers and lower power. When you turn up the volume, you can tell that the speakers struggle to keep up.

But I don't understand why is the video playback choppy.
Surely the newer iDrive has to have more processing power to deal with the added functionality compared to older cars...
