1000 miles

1000 miles, everything is smoothing out. It's revving freer. The shifter is looser. The clutch is higher. The stereo is loosening up. I've run it to redline in the lower gears but not really hard. Gas mileage is better than I expected but I hope it gets better in pure city. No rattles and with the F1s, no shakes.

It's not a handling threat to my 330i, but for any practical use, I choose to drive it. It's better than my GS430 in every consideration except low end torque. The stereo is almost as good as the Levinson. The seats and quiet luxury are better than both.

Sounds good. Thanks for your report.

You have a TL, a 330i, and a GS430? Wow. What's next?

What does the Levinson system do better?

The GS430 was turned in for the wife's MDX. I will probably let the 330i go this month. I was going to keep it but I keep driving the TL.

The Levinson has cleaner highs, more air, spatial information. The mids are clearer, better voice detail. The bass is looser, perhaps not better,or more accurate, but a little looser. They are both way better than anything else.
