66. BMW E36 Speakers

So, I replaced my head-unit in the car, and now, I'm thinking on replacing the speakers, as well.
So, I wanted to know the sizes of the speakers that go into my E36 limo. Here's what I've found:


BMW E36 Coupe/Sedan w/ Standard:

5.25" Front Midbass
2.5" Front Midrange
~5/8 Front Tweeter
4" Rear Midbass - Inside Enclosure
~5/8 Rear Tweeter - Inside Enclosure

BMW E36 Coupe/Sedan w/ HK(Premium)

5.25" Front Midbass
2.5" Front Midrange
~5/8 Front Tweeter
6x9" Rear Midbass - Inside Enclosure
~5/8 Rear Tweeter - Inside Enclosure

BMW E36 Cabrio w/ Standard

5.25" Front Midbass
2.5" Front Midrange
~5/8 Front Tweeter
4" Rear Midbass
~5/8 Rear Tweeter

BMW E36 Cabrio w/ HK(Premium)

5.25" Front Midbass
2.5" Front Midrange
~5/8 Front Tweeter
5.25" Rear Midbass
~5/8 Rear Tweeter
~8" Subwoofer in Ski Pass

In a day, I'll take my E36 on a one-week vacation, and I have A LOT of news, so, when I come back, expect this blog to be flooded with posts :)

  1. Hey again

    Thanks so much for this post, it helps me too! I've been needing to change my speakers. I have a very nice Alpine head unit installed but the speakers let it down, I don't think they've ever been replaced.

    Make sure you post when you get new speakers. What brand are you leaning towards? What brand is your head unit?

  3. Cool.

    I also got an alpine head unit - its blue though, I wish i could do something about it - any ideas?

    Im also going for a full alpine installation, good choice! ;)

    By the way, I adore your friend's red car!! I'll probably get a black bonnet to make my car look like it ! haha

  4. Hi Dalia!

    I wouldn't mess with head unit illumination... I heard it can be changed, but, I wouldn't fiddle with it.

    The red car is disassembled, and the body is going to be scrapped in a day or two... Yea, it did look nice, but, it wasn't that good... the body was twisted as a result of a crash (before my friend bought it).
    Well, he just bought a nice, blue coupe... Pics soon.

    Cheers!
