I will be setting aside a large amount of time refining my playlists to make the most of this when it gets here! (that and spending way too much time reading F30 reviews, the owner's manual, surfing this site etc etc. it can't be healthy...).
I went for the nine speaker system, which seems to have speakers located in the same locations, but minus the tweeters, I think. Although....it might be that the rear shelf mid speakers are replaced by front tweeters in the door pillars? If you go into the build my car facility on the website and select the hifi option and look closely at the interior car picture...speakers do appear in the door. This is certainly the case in the HK system. The other difference between HK and hifi is that the amp in the HK is 600watts while the amp in the hifi is 200watts or so. I went for the latter, based on the fact that I have the six speaker system in my current 318d SE e90 - it has the subwoofers under my arse, rear shelf mids and front door mids and the sounds is deep and rich from this set up as it is, so I'm guessing I'll be more than happy with what I think is an updated/upgraded equivalent of my existing set up. The HK sounds like it will be fantastic though, I just couldn't justify selling one of kids to get all the added extras I wanted though :-(
