Upgrading the Stereo in a BMW E46?

NickXX · 11 Feb 2006 at 16:24

Hi all,

Has anyone fitted new speakers to an E46 3-Series or generally upgraded the stereo? Does anyone know of any good guides on how to do it/what speaker sizes I can use?

The stereo is dreadful to put it bluntly - I was driving a Mk5 Golf with the 10-speaker stereo which is leaps and bounds over the BMW, so I'm really quite disappointed with it.

Many thanks in advance,

Nick

Woah, cheers Oracle - you're going to be a great help, I can't seem to find anything out there on Google!

I've got a 330d Saloon Sport November 2002 (so facelift). I'll go and check the doors now to see which speakers I have.

Unfortunately, I only seem to have a six speaker set-up - tweeters up by the mirrors, the two below them at the bottom of the door (rather than under the armrest) and rears in the parcel shelf.

The HK system sounds like a good idea - I really want to keep it as stock as possible. Do you know what the BMW Professional head unit is like?

Right. Found it

Nick, I can make your E46 look like this and use Steve's Intravention Module which you can demo on his new site

HTH

Let me know if you want anymore info.

Awesome - where do you live roughly mate, and how much do you reckon a DVD/TV stock setup, with fairly decent audio would cost?
