I'm at my wits end trying to DIY upgrade the HiFi 676 amp in my 128i convertible
I have taken apart the entire interior basically and installed upgraded speakers in the door pockets front and rear, subs under the seats, tweeters in the door corners, you name it.
I cannot figure out where the amplifier is on this car and how access it. Now I know what you're thinking; a quick search will tell you that it's inside the left trunk compartment, and that is true,
in the E82 coupes. However, since the convertibles have the deck lid where the top is stored inside the trunk, there are levers on the left and right side of the trunk that are fixed in place and make the compartment areas on the sides (that you'd remove on the e82's to access the amp) impossible to remove.
I have removed the front and rear door trims and taken the seats out, and didn't see any evidence the amp would be there instead. Every single DIY amplifier replacement guide I have come across for the 1 series cars has been done on E82's. Please help if you're a fellow E88 owner or know anything about the amp location!!
