I'm already setup to code for the new car and have previously done it on my 135i. For me, its not a matter of difficulty, its more that I am in the minority that like ASD, and don't want to sacrifice it. I will spend the $150 on the Focal speaker upgrade, then call it a day most likely. Hard for me to justify the $800 amp only upgrade while also losing ASD.

If I find the system to be so terrible after the speaker upgrade, I may look to an amp.
