04' X3 Speakers
 

Without the Premium Sound upgrade can anyone tell me how many speakers and what size speakers are in an 04' model X3?

I'm thinking about upgraded the speakers as I bought the vehicle slightly used and I think the previous owner ruined a few of the factory speakers.

dmax,

I don't have an answer for you, but I noticed this was your first post. I just wanted to welcome you to the board, and congratulate you on your purchase. I'm sure you'll get an answer to your question. Post some pics, too! :thumbup:

welcome! um, if it's an '04, isn't it still under warranty? :dunno:

Yes, it's still under warranty but I wanted to upgrade the speakers a bit as I'm not fully satisfied with the factory speakers. They work but not wonderful for the length of my commute.

Been there, done that, and I'm still looking :dunno:

Thanks for the info. I didn't expect this to be a huge deal, I guess I'll check with the dealer tomorrow when I drop it off for service. I'll post the results if I get any useful information.

Thanks, dmax.

i been looking for speakers too i havent got any luck i got the premium sound system it sounds good.

Haven't found the sizes either. I did come up with good documents on how to remove all the trims in the trunk for rear speakers. I am not sure if the big fixed piece on the side (wheel arch trim as BMW calls it) needs to be removed. I remeber that being a pain in E46. X3 seems a little easier to do.

To get to the rear speakers my thinking is that you do the following steps:
1. Remove upper D-pillar plastics
2. Remove C-pillar plastics
3. Remove the black plastic cover on rear seat belt (not sure if needed)
--> these are needed to be able to remove the key thing?
4. Remove window cavity cover strip being the plastic piece below trunk
side window that has the speaker cover
