Audio Systems: Notes
The various audio systems of the E83 are described in this technical documentation. The radio systems originate from the E85. The loudspeaker systems are new developments and are adapted to the acoustic and technical dimension requirements of the E83.
The E83 is available with the HiFi audio system and standard equipment and the Top HiFi audio system as an option.
The BMW audio standards which have been applied since the E85 are also being applied to the E83. They apply to the HiFi and Top HiFi systems with regard to symmetry of the sound field, sound pressure and linearity of the frequency response.
