Bang Olufsen Stereo

Hi everyone. I am currently looking to purchase a 12' or 13' SLS roadster. I am finding some color options that I like but some have the Bang Olufsen stereo and some don't.
  1. What is the consensus on the quality of B&O Stereo vs the stock stereo?
  2. Can you have the B&O stereo put in after the fact or would you be better off putting in a custom stereo?

Your comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

I have a non- B&O because I could care less about music. If music is important to you then go for a B & O. The REAL music is the motor with the top down! The coupe guys are missing out! Go for the Roadster! GREAT car!

PS get a '12 with the adaptive suspension.... you will be glad you did!

With my top down, the engine start is incredible.

Don't let the sound system dictate your purchase. If there were two identical and that was the differentiating factor, go for it. It's good but not great. It might have to do with the cabin space being so small?

I'm sure could install it after the fact but would most likely be very expensive.
