I finally broke down and ordered some speakers and an amp for my 96 Z3. Anyone have info on the factory amp? I'm pretty sure I can figure out the speaker (output side), but not sure about the input side. New amp is RCA input, screw down type power, and screw down speaker out.

Amp: Blaupunkt PA2100
Speakers: MB Quart RSC 213

there's about 75k wires coming out of the radio! i have a BMW radio owners manual that gives the terminal numbers and description. i thought i'd never be able to find it but it's right here in the drawer next to me! looks like there isn't much of a way to tell which terminal is which? anyway, here goes; 1)left front spk+ 2)right front spk+ 3)left rear spk+ 4)telephone mute feature 5)positive, terminal R 6)right rear spk+ 8)left front spk- 9)constant positive,terminal 30 10)volume control 7)I-bus connection 11)right front spk- 12)left rear spk- 13)illumination,terminal58g 14)right rear spk- 15)ground,terminal31 16)automatic antenna or window antenna amplifier or premium sound system amplifier 17) not assigned number 7 is out of order because that's the way they did it in the book. number on the back of the book is "Best. Nr. 01 41 9 790 127 US englisch bo" maybe with a little common sense you can make something of it? good luck!

Wiley, you should check mz3.net. They have some good sound system articles on there. I'm not really sure which article, though.

I have some stereo upgrade links here:
