No. The radio on any modern BMW is just a head unit that requires an
external amplifier. On an E39 the amp is mounted on the left side of the
trunk just behind and above the CD changer's location. I can't say if all
BMW models mount the amp on the left side of the trunk, but a sampling of
three ('01 E39, '91 E39, & '90 E32) all have the amp in that location
(might be a trend here).

And do you have a stock BMW radio, or has it been changed out to an after
market unit? With a BMW head unit no amp equals no sound.
