Mysterious compartment!!

Hi all,

I have a 2011 Z4 with M Package.

Above the small storage compartment behind and between the seats there is a plastic cover that when removed looks like an additional speaker could be fitted there. I looked in the BMW site and other BMW accessories sites but couldn't find it mentioned anywhere for anything.

Any idea what it could be used for?

Thanks in advance.
 
I think youll find thats where a speaker goes if you have the Professional HiFi upgrade, well there's certainly a speaker above the storage cubby in my car. Must just be blank without the HiFi.
 
See the rear speaker mod post lol. Going to do this ASAP. the sound is a bit soft so could do with a mid boost. My first z4 had the bose upgrade and power amp in the bat compartment, has 2 massive rear speakers. Sounded amaizing. had a rear back massager chair with the base.
 
Yep, I did the retrofit of this. See my note in the e89 forum. An easy job that was really effective. Check eBay for the speakers. You need to buy the grill part from BMW though.
 
Check realoem to get the part number. They are used on a number on models such as 5/7series. I will dig out the supplier details who provided mine.

Hi and welcome to the Forum from Bahrain :thumbsup:
Hope all is OK there with you.

Pics of your Zed would be great. Have attached the link for the RealOEM website mentioned:

OK. Here are the main parts:

TOP-HIFI MID-RANGE LOUDSPEAKER 1 65139141501

For vehicles with
HiFi system Professional DSP
S677A=Yes 05 LOUDSPEAKER COVER 1 51469147547

this second part, the cover, comes with a tweeter installed too.

You then just need connectors (BMW specific) and some speaker cable.

Enjoy! :D

Are you all talking about the compartment shown at the top in the first picture?

I have Loudspeaker system BMW Business option fitted. If I add a speaker to that compartment will that make a big difference? I would like a bit more base.

Yes and Yes. Are you sure that you have the loudspeaker system fitted? seems odd that the centre speakers are missing??
 
won't be more basey though. It's a mid range and tweeter that go there. However, more is good!

- apologies, didn't notice the big speakers behind your seats in the pic. It looks like you have loudspeaker, but there must be another option for the middle speakers.
