More follow-up from longer drives. Again, customer care from Mike was first rate, start to finish. I'm not one who lives and dies by the stopwatch, so I can't advise of 0-60 times, etc. But, working hard to remove the placebo effect, the car does feel different and better. The throttle feels more responsive and the engine feels smoother and seems to rev more freely. Imagination? Can't say with 100% certainty, but from what I feel driving in the usual suburban mix of streets, limited access roads, and local interstate highways, this was a very nice outcome and I'd do it again.

Upgrade Sound System

Removed HK Front and Rear Speakers - Replaced with BAVSOUND Midrange and new tweeters! Couldnt do doors or Ghosts under seats due to weather in Germany today - but the three replaced made a world of difference. Cannot believe the sound quality and incredible plug and play. Looked at Gladen and other German set ups over here - but for the price I couldnt beat it. Can't wait to get the rest done to see how the entire set up sounds. Next a Bimmertech AMP/DSP and I'm done.

Today I purchased a 2017 M240i convertible (F23), mineral white, red leather, black rims, M Performance steering wheel (just alcantara and carbon fiber, no electronic gizmos)!

I have put 15 miles on it and smiled the entire time! From the first test drive I knew this car was special, just like my E93 335is and my ZHP convertible.

That sounds awesome. If my "kid's" X5d wasn't Mineral White, that would have been my color combo. Loved the Coral Red on my 135i and was tempted to do a Superman combo on the 2.

Congratulations. I have the full setup and have been extremely happy with it. I, too, ended getting it installed in several stages. Each made a noticeable improvement.

I did mine in stages as well:

1. Bavsound speakers and FiiO
2. Bavsound ghosts
3. Bimmertech amp
4. 8" Focal in trunk w JL 600

Each step made a difference and that's the order I'd suggest as well, stop when you're happy.
