Hi

I was just wondering where the subs amp etc and other bits that come with the B&W upgraded audio go in a 5 series touring

I have heard that the subs go under the front seats.

Does this mean that rear passengers would not be able to get their feet under the front seats?

Where does the amp go and any other bits that would not be there if you did not tick the option box

i.e. do they take up space in annoying places ?

I think I've seen the rear speakers up in the headlining so that would be OK

Thanks

The current one, which I realise is not that far off being replaced

Have they moved around much over the years?

IIRC the subs are in the floor. I know they were flush in my previous F01 and in my F31 and when I went out in a G31 540i I couldn't feel them/they didn't stop my feet when I sat in the rear etc

This might help - it shows the locations of all the various speakers in a G31:

Thanks that is useful

I see the amp is in the rear corner (and the TV tuner as if anyone has ever ordered one)

Hopefully that doesn't mean you loose the ability to put the parcel shelf / net under the floor (so few cars do this and it is infuriating when you can't)
