I think this has been asnwered before on here, try doing a search, but Ill give it a try

2 tweaters in the front door pillars

2 mid range in a each front door (1 set hidden)

2 mid range in the rear doors (hidden)

2 in the rear deck

2 - 8" subwoofers under the front seats

If you do a search you should find more details about the sizes of each speaker as i know most of them are pretty odd sized and will find a limited supply of direct replacements, which sux for us E-60 owners. I hope I helped a little

2 tweeters front door

2 mid's front door

2 subs under the seats

4 at the rear shelf (2 tweeters 2 mid's)

If You havethespeakersintherear doors You have L7 audio which adds additional onein the middle of the dash

There are 10 speakers in the standard audio system? How many in the L7 and what locations?

Interesting, Rudy. But I wonder about the subwoofer locations. I have a speaker under the dash on the driver's side that I assumed was the sub enclosure. Might be one on the passenger side, too, but I can't remember right now. All this time (6 months) I thought they were incorporating Bose's Acoustimass technology.

The speaker under the dash on the driver's side is most likely the "emergency" speaker they use for communication with the BMW Assist operator, etc. It's not used for the (entertainment) audio system...

Hmm, I swear the last time I was cleaning the interior, I saw a speaker grill looking thing in each of the rear doors? Mine is a 2006.
