May take a slight amount of fettling as well - lets see..

This was hilarious! I did think this was the sound system at first.

Honestly, I own a M550 with B&W and own a 440i with HK and there is no comparison in regard to audio quality and sound tweaking. I'm not familiar with the mechanical components, however so I'm interested if someone would really do this. Maybe find a wrecked M550i and see if the option is available.

I was thinking about purchasing one of the B&W kits off eBay. They come complete with the amp and everything, but after seeing the amp... its a hard pass.

Here is one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184754113623

I've only seen about 2 complete kits on ebay. I was thinking about doing the retrofit, but if I need another harness, it's not going to happen.

Damn, those Latvia guys have everything! There must be a plethora of BMW's in Latvia to pull parts from. I have bought so much shit from Latvia BMW sellers for my E39 and the G30 (touch climate panel, light switch with rear fog button). I have to say, I have always been impressed with the products and condition. They also will always barter and accept a much lower price. May want to ask them about the harness. From my experience, they know their shit.
