Fitment and compatibility

The manufacturer application guide dated November 2020 lists the following BMW mounting applications for this model. These are selected closed year ranges from that guide, not a complete list and not a guarantee for every Australian factory audio option.

Series Chassis Body Guide model years
1 Series E81 3 door 2007 to 2012
1 Series E82 Coupe 2007 to 2013
1 Series E87 5 door 2007 to 2011
3 Series E90 Sedan 2005 to 2011
3 Series E91 Touring 2005 to 2011
3 Series E92 Coupe 2005 to 2011
3 Series E93 Convertible 2005 to 2011

The guide shows MW 8BMW-D with M 5DSP MK2, PP 62DSP or PP 86DSP for the stated Stereo system before mid 2019, using PP-AC 13A, PP-ISO 5m and additional subwoofer wiring. Each dual voice coil woofer requires two positive and negative speaker wire pairs in that example. Do not substitute the single coil UP W8BMW-S wiring arrangement.

Confirm the Australian build, original under seat enclosure, factory audio option, amplifier and connectors before ordering. The guide is dated and does not verify later facelifts or an unspecified MINI model.
