First set of settings gave me a headache - literally. I play classic rock pretty loudly, and I was seriously considering going back to the default settings when you published the corrected values. No idea what you did, but it's awesome. I did have to pull fairly far back on the treble (as directed) though; music was still much brighter than what I had grown accustomed to.

My '07 Idrive 328 (coupe) had Logic 7 with concert hall and (dammit, don't remember) one other option. I really liked concert hall, and played my IPOD through it loud all the time with no problems at all. Rocked... I loved it.

My new '09 335i (coupe) has same setup, but I'm using the y-cord supplied by BMW instead of just plugging into the headphone jack like I did on my 328. The uncommanded volume changes in the back speakers was driving me crazy. I've turned off the Logic 7 (no options on the '09), and the volume is now constant, but I'm seriously pissed off I've paid for something that doesn't work. I've read the imaging argument, but why is it here now when it didn't exist in my '07?
Cheers, and thanks again!
Yo,

I know what you are talking about. The volume fluctuations between the front and rear channels. The best way to eliminate this with the surround processing on is the set the fader to the front by a value of 2, or as you mentioned, shut the surround processing off. Then it basically plays in multi-channel stereo.

2009's only have surround "off" or "on". No more choices. When I played with a 2009, it seemed that they worked on the processing a bit, because it sounds a little better than my 2008 with Logic7 did.
