I'm not saying it can't be done... but if it were my money (and ears), I'd just go full aftermarket and avoid the headache. Can still use factory wiring with the aftermarket drivers, so no need to run all new cabling. I'll be crossing this bridge as well in the next year with my nav/DSP truck if I can't decide to pull the trigger on NBT retrofit.

I agree with you. I would just replace the amplifier altogether to accommodate everything. I will start with the 10-speaker replacement, then adding a sub to see what the system sound as is -- and a couple months down -- going to replace the amp altogether and add the DICE system. Have you required about it -- supports BLUETOOTH and IPOD/IPHONE through the speaker system. REAL NICE!

If you have the DSP w/premium it is easy to make it sound great, most people just don't bother to read the manual. It's completely tunable at every frequency and when you get it right even the dual 6.5 subs start to catch a lick.
I found out asking locals who owned X5's that most had never used custom mode on the DSP and tuned the room size, echo level, and each individual frequency on the fully independent EQ. It wouldn't hurt to add a small ten or 12 in the back for lower fill, but if the DSP os set right the dual 6.5's actually produce nice fill. I've owned several car audio stores I can tell you that it WILL sound good with proper tuning.

I don't know how someone in the industry could even begin to like the factory DSP system... imo it is decent enough to get you home from the dealership, and then to the audio shop the next morning.

Heuer21: Yes, you are correct! I am saving now to replace the AMP, the speakers and a sub -- starting with the speakers! I cannot get over the sound that it currently produces -- what's up with that! Buy now BMW should have better control!!!

I have the DSP on mine and it sounds good enough imo, i went to BSW and bought the ipod aux kit and i told them that i had DSP and they still didnt sent me the DSP kit so i returned that and went with the OEM AUX kit and i am generally pleased with it. IMO CD quality > Ipod AUX quality but its not a deal breaker to me
