BMW F82 no harman kardon

Hi Folks,

Anyone ever retrofit fit a harman kardon in their F8x?

Unfortunately my m4 didn't come with the HK so wondering if I add the front tweeters is the car already wired for these or will I need a full wiring loom?

Any info would be appreciated?

I believe the tweeters are fed from a crossover in the door mids.
I wouldn't retrofit the HK system at all tbh.
You're far better off having a custom upgrade done that will be cheaper, and probably sound better.
Consult a specialist ICE dealer is my advice.

Isn't there an amp in the boot (?digital) and woofers too under the seats? Quite a bit of kit for HK if memory serves...

Yeah I suppose I've just seen a few sets of the tweeters in UK for fair money so it got me thinking.


No amp in my car I believe since it doesn't have the HK surround sound.

HK is ok, but the amp is eyewateringly expensive and has a tendancy to blow up

I ripped out all the HK stuff in my car, replaced it with focal es100k and 2ohm focal woofer, driven by an audison 8.9bit amp and a MOST converter.

Sound difference is epic and I haven't even started to tune the DSP

That sounds an impressive upgrade.

Not hugely more expensive than a new amp from BMW (I was on my third!)
