How to tell from Standard or Premium

Black5 · 02-18-2014, 12:07 PM

Hello people, I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2011 535i. I was told that it has the Premium stereo installed. My question is, How can I tell from Standard to Premium just by looking at it?

thanks

If the standard in US is the HiFi system 676, and the premium HiFi Pro 677.
Then the premium has speakers in the rear doors, which the standard doesn't have.

Remmib,, Do you know is the Standard Head Unit is the same as the Premium? I guessing head unit is the same only difference is the amp and amount of speakers.

Before you buy, why not use the car's VIN to look up its build sheet? That way you'll know exactly what equipment it has. There are several sites where you can get this information. The one I use is BMWVIN.com.
