2011 BMW 535i Premium Sound Option

Help me out fellow BMW enthusist. I read that the premium sound has 13 speakers....I'm sorry, but I don't count 13 speakers. Can anyone with the premium sound option chime in? Have I been given bad information or have we been cheated?

Garage List
Some of the speaker grills you see might have multiple speakers underneath. Let's see what I can think of: 1 center, 2 front door tweeter, 2 front door midrange, 2 rear door, 2 rear deck, 2 subwoofers under seats(?). That's 11. Some grill must have 2 sets of speakers in them.

I think you could check whether it is Premium Sound by checking if there is "Surround" in Tone setting using iDrive.

I've checked, I do have the surround setting you speak of.

The center has two speakers as do the two rear deck grills. There are two woofers, one under each front seat. Each of the doors has a tweeter and mid range speaker. That's 16 by my count.
