Help needed on standard stereo to HIFI upgrade

My car arrived with a standard UK spec stereo system

I have upgraded to Bavsound1 but there just isn't any lowdown bass. i have an offer of an amp and under seat speakers removed from anM4 with the HIFI system. Can anyone tell me is it possible to do this upgrade from standard stereo to HIFI and what exactly would be needed to do it successfully.

Cheers,
Denso

I think you'll have to recode the radio to HIFI and code the L7 amp to your car.

- No thanks to that OEM HiFi amp offer
- Get a PP82DSP, add BSW center component (mid + tweeter), replace 6.5" OEM woofers with the OEM HiFi 8" OEM woofers from the offer. Connect everything with a Stereo 4/6 harness and center speaker cable. That would be a 7ch system
- No need to code
- Be happy

I am an absolute noob when it comes to this, can you shoot me a PM with what exactly I need to do and who makes what etc. Any help/guidance will be appreciated and can you also recommend what ex M4 parts I will need to buy from the seller. I know it's a big ask but I really am new to upgrading car audio and just want to find that something that is missing in my car audio sound.
Cheers,
Denso

Door tweeters, door speakers, rear side speakers. There is no position on the dash for the centre speaker but I will cut it if need be to fit the speaker. I ordered the BSW HIFI system as that was what I thought the car came with standard from BMW but in UK it comes with a basic stereo

The dash should have a plate covering the center speaker mount. If so then you will need the HiFi center speaker grill and an extra set of BSW components in there.

Please use PM to discuss the harness and parts needed for a PP82DSP system.
