M3 Transported Cross Country - Now Front Speakers Don't Work?
Hey guys,
So I recently switched coasts for work and the my new Company shipped my car out to the East coast using Dependable Auto Shippers, Inc. I just received the car last Friday (June 28). Didn't drive it around this weekend, but took it to work yesterday and today. I noticed yesterday that most of the sound from the radio (was listening to NPR) was coming from the back. I thought maybe it was just the radio station frequency and didn't think much of it. On my way to work today, I tried switching the fader to only play out of the front speakers. It was completely muffled - I didn't hear anything coming from my front speakers and I could barely understand whas being said (again, NPR radio)! WTF! I tried switching to a bunch of other radio stations and same thing. Is it possible some idiots with Dependable Auto Shippers jacked my front speakers or somehow blew them? Or am I not adjusting the settings correctly? I also tried to switch over to my AUX Mp3 stick to test it with a direct feed...only to find that someone had stolen it....along with all my change in that was in a gum container in the center console (seriously - like maybe $3.00 in there). WTF. Car is a 2008 E90. I'm thinking about bringing it into BMW immediately to get it checked out. Man.... |

They also left the inside of the car filthy - the door handles are black from dirt...which made me wonder how much they touched the inside of the car...maybe to jack my speakers! (I have a trust problem...) |

Nope, it's an '08. My company paid for it, but I'm guessing it cost maybe $1,500 to transport cross country? Yeah, I'm going to bring it into a dealer asap. A part of me thinks the speakers weren't caused by the transport? But I mean, maybe some kid cranked the music super loud while moving the car from truck to truck? The mileage was exactly the same so they drove it less than a mile. But man, only my back speakers are working.

Uhmmm, maybe? I mean, the car has been parked in a garage...I guess a rat could get up there? Fack, I'm gonna open the hood and try and find out...that would suck.

there's a fuse box diagram floating on this forum somewhere...I'm just not sure whether there's seperate fuses for front or back, if not, try replacing the speaker fuse

Even if they are blown the front speakers should still have sound, would just be static-y. At least thats what I experienced on my E46 when the speakers blew. Probably a fuse or they got disconnected.
