Speaker grilles under front seats.

[M5Rick]

Don't know if many have noticed but there are speakers under the front seats which after listening closely seem to be a very tamed version of the old style 'boom boxes' prevalent in cars like Subaru WRX and fast Fords.[

yes we know they are there. you just discovered them. lol

[M5Rick]

I discovered them after about a week I bought the car, I hoover it myself but they are not noticeable if you don't actually peer under the seats.
Great vid of your motor there doing its rounds and that exhaust sound is hypnotic, we can only dream of roads like that in UK.

They've been around forever. Had them in my e60's as well.

Thank you. yea here in Tx we do have some good roads. my co workers in Aberdeen also tell me they really have no roads to open up with. these speakers as re used as the subs. would be nice if we had true subs tho

Ah ok I'm down in Hampshire, got a few nice roads with twisties in the new forest but then have to watch out for livestock haha. M27 can be a bit of a race track in the mornings too...

Yeah I've used M27 going to Littlehampton from m23 but you're probably more West from there.
Someone on the blog in Canada hit a small deer in their M5 at night even with night vision but the animal came quickly from the side very slightly damaging three panels on one corner inc bonnet and h/lamp but it still ran into thousands of notes to replace and repair.

Yeah deer can be a problem! But it's more the ponies, cows and donkeys we have to watch out for! Especially this time of year when tourists feed them then they hang out by the roads more!
