I think when it comes to a BMW, you just have to go "custom." This whole BMW specific driver setup is stupidly expensive for basically unknown drivers and niche companies. JL Audio, Focal and a few others have BMW specific drivers that are 2x in cost of a similar model.

youtube has some car audio shops that have installed systems and they walk you around what they have done, and it isn't special in any way. Of course it's not "removeable," and requires some modification to install, but such is life.
Yeah I agree.

If you aren't worried about removal a good shop could probably put together a lot better setup for the same price.

I just didn't want to mess with it, but custom is probably a better way to go.
