If you want deep rumble and not too loud, then I can definitely advise on a sebring, I've had one now for 8+years.

That looks like an E30 item. You can see 325e which is an E30.

You misunderstand, the one you have is part of a 2 piece system.

Yes, it fits a standard system just fine, as long as the centre box is part of a 2 piece system. I originally had mine fitted to a standard centre, but upgraded about 2 years later and bought the sebring centre section.
