How to tell if I have upgraded speakers?

[max08e90]

I bought my car with 10,000 miles and to it came relatively loaded. The only thing I can't figure out is if I have the upgraded sound system option. Is there any way to discover this? My system is much louder than my E46 with the Harman Kardon speakers, however I am having a difficult time finding the answer to this. Thanks for any help.

If you have have Enhanced Premium Sound option, your front door speakers will have the silver cover like this:

My EPS has silver grills with yellow cones for the door mid-range speakers.

That was actually pretty handy as I too have wondered about this.

Sweet. Also, I believe EPS is the only one that has a full graphic equalizer within the Idrive.

Do your front speakers have silver grills with yellow cones? If not then you deff don't have EPS. Also, I think EPS is the only one that has the full graphic equalizer within your idrive

No silver grills for me. It's def not the EPS. I do however have the amp in the trunk, subwoofers under the seats and tweeters up higher on driver and passenger doors. I have never seen the full graphic equalizer on my idrive settings.

That is HiFi. The amp is black pre-2010 and sometime after 2010 the HiFi amp became bright and very short.

Correct.
