    Amplifiers and Speakers The audio systems in the E90 offers two choices: • HiFi system -10 speakers w/separate amplifier • Top-HiFi system (Logic7) - 13 speakers w/Logic7 amplifier In addition to the higher achievable sound pressure, the audio systems are also distin- guished by the improved system fidelity.
  • Page 9: Hifi System

    HiFi System The analogue 6-channel 'HiFi' amplifier has the same technical specifications as the one fitted in the E83. In the E90, however, it features settings specific to the E90 (diplexers, equalizing). The HiFi amplifier is located behind the rear left side panel trim in the luggage compart- ment.

    • FM4 aerial, formed by combining the signals from the FM1 and FM2 aerials • FM antenna amplifier with antenna diversity module For reasons of space, the rear window of the E90 can accommodate only three FM aerials. The FM4 aerial is not a physical component. To improve FM reception, the FM4 aerial is created by overlaying the HF signals from the FM1 and FM2 aerials.

  • Page 20: Roof Aerial

    Roof Aerial There are two different variants of roof antenna for the E90: • Vehicle equipped with TCU - GPS antenna needed for telematic feature • Vehicle equipped with SDARS (Satellite Digital Radio Service - Sirius) The roof aerial for SDARS reception has a larger housing compared with the version with- out satellite radio capability.
  • Page 21: Sdars Satellite Tuner

    The separate satellite tuner is necessary because the signals are transmitted in the giga- hertz band (microwave band). The satellite tuner is located in the trunk above the recess, on the left (when viewed from the rear) next to the Telematic Control Unit (TCU). Location of SDARS Tuner and TCU E90 Communication...
  • Page 22: Cd Changer

    All E90 vehicles come pre-wired for CD changer. The option SA672 for the E90 is a new "CD changer for 6 CDs" (CDC). The CD changer is a MOST network node and differs from the MOST-compatible CD changer on the E60 and E63/4 by virtue of its support for MP3 files and WMA files.

  • Page 26: Mp3/Wma Playback

    MP3/WMA Playback Note: The information provided in the following is of a general nature and not specific to BMW. MP3 stands for MPEG Layer 3 and is a compression method for audio data which achieves very high compression ratios. MP3 makes use of a phenomenon that is associ- ated with psychoacoustics: Human beings do not hear everything that theoretically could be heard - in any case not consciously.
  • Page 27: Bit Rate

    64 kBit/s sound acceptable. The data loss at a constant bit rate is less noticeable than in an MP3 file. However, outstanding bass reproduction at 64 kBit/s cannot be achieved in any format. WMA is much better suited than MP3 for ultralow bit rates (e.g. 16 kBit/s). E90 Communication...
