It's ok for speech and listening to the news. Don't expect too much when it comes to music.
If music is important I would consider the Alpine aftermarket upgrade (allthough I haven't listened to it myself).

Having read some negative opinions about it, I must say I am surprised over how good it sounds!

I am more bothered and irritated over the reception quality of the radio - it is terrible! Worst of all the cars I have owned - and I have had many!

The 316d 2010 I sold to get the 118dA 2012 was a hell of a lot better!
This is a scandal!

I agree 100% with you the reception quality of radio is terrible. I took my car to the dealer for this and they reprogrammed it. Now it sounds a bit better but not as i would like.

The F20 has 2 subs under the front seats, yes!

I have upgraded 2 FOCAL TNI 1.5 tweeters at the rear to avoid "TOO BRIGHT" high frequency sounds....Now? More than enough~~~~ FYI!
