When I visited Bang & Olufsen in Struer last June I was told B&O would have a 4th automotive partner before the end of the year. From a different source I've heard that it will be BMW. can anyone confirm this?

Found an interior shot of the 6 series concept which will be shown on the Paris Motor Show. There's an acoustic lens in the center of the dashboard.

I remember when they announced the 4th maker during the SLS release. Had a strong feeling it would be BMW.

Suprised that a partnership between B&O and BMW has not happened sooner than this. After all, they did use BMW paint colours for the Avant's.

Not sure, but if I'm informed correctly BMW had the policy that no other brand names should be visible inside the car... Good to hear they've changed this. 🤒
