I have just imported a 2005 BMW 525i from Germany. It's supposed to have HiFi speaker system. I know I don't have the logic7 system, because there are no speakers in the rear doors. But how can I check whether I have the Hifi system with 10 speakers without taking the whole car apart. Hope somebody can help me.

Liking to do some things the easy way, I would take the car to my dealer and ask them to tell me what I have.

HiFi sound system has 10 speakers:
2 front tweaters
2 front mid-range speakers
2 subwoofers under front seat
2 rear tweaters
2 rear mid-range tweaters

If rear door has two speakers, it's L7

Best Regards

A simple way turn the bass up high and turn up the volume. If you feel you are getting hurt by the bass from under your seat you have the Hi-Fi sound system.

The way i see it, if you have to ask which you have, you probably dont have the Hi-Fi sound system...

But you really want to believe that you got it.. and somehow you're just kinda hoping that its really sh1t like all BMW sound systems and you actually did get it...

Yea i know how it feels... I was hoping i had it tooo.. hahaha...

Time for an upgrade maybe?
