You indeed are reading that correctly - it can produce 75x2 + 300x1 and will accept the inputs from the BMW system through the speaker level inputs with absolutely no issue.

Note that in this case "speaker level inputs" are still provided via the RCA jacks, you just slide a switch to tell it you are feeding speaker level instead of line level inputs. It also does not require a remote turn on lead...
