Which hi-fi system do I have?

So I'm trying to figure out what hi-fi system is installed in my Z4. Once I know that then I'll know what to upgrade!

From the list I got from the dealer when I bought my car I see:

609 Navigation system professional
620 Voice control
672 CD changer for 6 CDs
6FL USB-audio interface

No mention of any speaker or amplifier upgrade While I have grilles on the window corners for tweeters I hear nothing coming out of them, same for the grille behind the navigation screen. I do hear sound from the door speakers and the footwells as well behind the seats (shoulder level).

What I assume is that I have the basic 6-speaker setup. Do you think that's right?

If yes, does anyone have any experience of upgrading to the 11- or 14-speaker systems with the BMW amplifier?!

Thanks in advance for your help...

upgrading is a total strip of your car, and implemention of wires, optic fiber cables.....You get after your car with more speakers and squeaks and noise from your interior, in my opinion....

Basic 6 speaker contains one pair woofer front, one pair midrange front and one pair midrange rear.
No tweeters in this set up,

I have the POS stereo. Thats not the official name of it in the brochure though.
Its the one that sound similiar to the AM radio I had in my Dodge Aspin back in 1980.
On the bright side, I have $2,000.00 in my checking account I would not have right now, had I opted for the real stereo.
Life is all about trade-offs.

Think of it this way- $2000/$2.63 national average price per gallon= 760 gallons @ 23 mpg= 17,500 miles of driving JOY!
