speaker count is based on all speakers, tweeters and subs...

should be 12 or 16 speakers in all....

12= one speaker w/separate tweeter for each on each of the four doors (8) plus two sub-woofers under the front seats (2), plus one speaker w/one separate tweeter on top of the dash (2)...

16= adds two more speakers and two more tweeters in the rear pillar/trunk area.(4)

stock amp should be 205 watts w/7 channels
premium amp should be 600 watts w/9 channels

Note: Premium speakers are slightly better in quality but same size.

thanks for that info. how can you check if you have 7 or 9 channel?

I think easiest thing is to check idrive...if you have DSP and equalizer settings than you have premium if not...plain config.

You can go to the document in the following link for detailed info on the Audio System. I am also posting two pictures out of that document that show the number and location of the speakers in the E70 (both standard audio and premium audio).

I just HAD TO go outside and look for the speakers in the trunk area

... Yes, they were there... and I did not even notice them at the time of the delivery

LoL Yes, I have the premium sound! haha thanks Rodybmw!! (My iDrive only has either stereo or 7.1 channel option though.. I'm still unsure about the 9 channel thing the document talks about)

so i got my SAV back yesterday. Still couple of problems they couldnt solve:

- the burnt CD i was playing in the 08 528 cannot play in my X5. Also it stil skips some tracks that plays fine in the 528

- Back speakers is as loud as the front. They said the new X is desgined that way.
Im a bit dissapointed but i still love my X
