    Individual 14 speakers in the e39?
    Never heard of that one. Where would they even be installed?

    Nevermind found it, 4 of the mid drivers/woofers were coaxials with integrated tweeters, so one slot with 2 speakers.

    - 2 subs in the rear shelf
    - 2 tweeters in the rear doors
    - 2 mids + 2 tweeters on the rear shelf
    - 2 woofers + 2 tweeters on the front
    - 2 tweeters on the front

    = 14 speakers in total

    Wonder how that would sound? What was the cost of this back then?

    OEM headunit is not too good in the e39's and upgrades always look tacky with the small headunit and massive plastic piece around it

    They probably sounded much better than the standard stereo system.
    The option was less than 1000 according to this sheet.
    From what I have read it was better than the standard Harman Kardon DSP option, while both systems used the same DSP amplifier.

    That would not make sense to buy a used set these days.

    I can show you my own sound system in the E39 if you are around Blanch one of those days. 80% finished but all speakers working and pulsing good.

    Will have a meet in Blanch soon if you want to drop by, my e39 is gone but the e36 could do with an upgrade
