Question Enhanced Premium Sound for 1M?

Was checking out the 1M section on bmwusa.com, and saw this under Model Highlight -> Entertainment.

Quote:
Enhanced Premium Sound
With a power output of 825 watts the Enhanced Audio System is the most powerful sound system ever offered in a BMW. This system features high-quality hi-fi components including 16 high-performance loudspeakers featuring Neodym magnetic drive and exceptionally stiff Hexacone diaphragms, a digital 9-channel amplifier and precision crossovers to guarantee unparalleled sound quality. DIRAC live signal processing technology corrects the impulse response of each loudspeaker, facilitating linear and accurate sound reproduction inside the car. The resulting true impulse response during sound reproduction enables both the driver and all passengers in a BMW to enjoy an extraordinarily multi-faceted and vivid sound experience previously only achieved by high-end home entertainment systems.
I don't think this is the same as the HK option (which is 300W per BMW website). What gives?

Look at the details for the HK option on the page for the 1 series to the get the correct info.

Question: With the standard sound system on the 1M, how many speakers are there and is there any subs underneath the front seats? Or is this just on HK system? Can anyone who has the standard system confirm the specs. The BMWNA website seems kinda vague. TIA

Question Anyone?

This is all BMW specifies on the website:

Audio
"AM/FM HiFi stereo/CD audio system with Radio Data System (RDS), Auto-Store, MP3 capability and 3-channel FM diversity antenna system."
