premium sound for 2013?

So under the model highlights on the US website it says 16 speakers, 600 watts, same as the X3 and new 3 series have. But when you build your own, it says 340 watts...

which is correct? I hope they put the new sound system in there, as $875 is the same upgrade price as the 3 series, so you would hope you get the same sound system!

Wattage is far less important than range and clarity. The 340 watt Harman Kardon system is worlds better than the 600 watt un-branded system in my X3.
