Speakers

Each model in the E46 model line-up
features a slightly different speaker
setup. Speaker and other component
locations also vary depending on the
type of sound system installed. Some
of the common speaker installations
are covered in this section.
Sedan and Sport Wagon: The standard
installation is six speakers, one in each
door and two in the rear. The rear
speakers in the Sedan are in the parcel
shelf. The rear speakers in the Sport
Wagon are mounted on the left and
right wheel housings behind trim
covers.
Coupe: A tweeter and a mid-range
speaker are installed in one housing
unit in each front door panel. Another
speaker pair is in the left and right rear
side trim panels.
Convertible: The standard speaker
set-up consists of four speakers
mounted in the rear side trim panels,
two on each side. One speaker on
each side is a 130 mm wide band and
the other is a tweeter.
The Harman/Kardon system
incorporates an additional subwoofer
installed in the trunk. The amplification
for this subwoofer comes from the main
sound system amplifier.
In the Convertible, the subwoofer is
installed in the ski bag cover. It is
hinged so that it can be swung aside
