It has the name printed right on the top of the speaker and it rises out of the dashboard.

Update: Finally had a chance to go to the dealership and asked them to look at the speaker. The SA barely gave it a 2 seconds looked at it and said oh ya we can correct that. Will be replacing through warranty 🙂.

There are several ways, and on the F15, the center speaker will have Bang & Olufsen written on the top of the anodized aluminum speaker cover, which will raise to show the horn tweeter when playing audio.

While "Bang & Olufsen" may be written on other speaker covers on the doors in some BMW's, the F15/F85 do not, but will have aluminum speaker covers on the door cards, and the front door tweeters will light up.

While the ones below are from my F10, I can post the same from my F85 if you need.....

The B&O center speaker has wrinkles around it - is this normal? Or is there a protective film on it that should be removed? Thank you.

My center speaker began wrinkling during the summer. I think the heat is too much for that leather film covering. It sucks but I peeled mine off and keep a towel on my dash during the summer.

It peels right off? What does it look like now? Thanks.
