Just don't know if BMW upgrades their speakers, or just the electronics and the number of speakers. Time to browse realoem.com, I guess.
Well, the subwoofers are original and the rear midranges are original. The subwoofers are getting amp power instead of deck power, though, so they sound much better. The rear mids are still being driven by the head unit but are sort of drowned out by everything else. Some people think rear speakers are pretty pointless, anyway.

The front speakers are all new. Cars with the "Stereo" system have no tweeters to begin with, and the new midranges are much higher quality than the stock units they replaced.
