Dont even take your X to the place that quoted you 1000.
Things are going to not work after a couple days, they wont fix the problems for weeks.
Thats like paying 500 for an engine swap.....not possible.
Good shops charge more because they do the installs properly.
BTW , all the speakers besides the tweeters in the front door require some custom install.
Go to a couple other places and get some more quotes.
You'll find them close to 3k
Oh ya
send your car to Will at unique and get shocked with a 5-10k bill

3-4K with parts is understandable. But when I HAVE EVERYTHING (which was 3-4K alone) and to spend another 3-4K on INSTALL ALONE, I might as well have not bought any gear and just shipped it to Unique and have him do parts and labor. But for me to get a quote from a nationally known car install franchise (that only does car setups/installs) that is totally opposite of a quote from a "stand alone" shop, that kinda bothers me a bit. Some places won't touch it because its a BMW, and some other places I won't let touch it because its a BMW. Nevertheless, I just don't see how you are coming up with a justifiable $3,000+ to install a head unit, 2 sets of components, 2 amps, a "plug n play" sub enclosure, some additional HU components, and a couple of cameras.
