This took me a long time to wrap my head around and get over. That said, I bought my F30 with the HiFi system (essentially the base or standard system in the US) and was grossly disappointed. I upgraded my speakers to the Bavsound and my amp to the Bimmertech. Both are designed to be plug and play, so even if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, there's no major modification required so the install cost won't be great. There was a hugely noticeable difference over stock. If you get the amp, you download software and connect your computer via USB to the amp. There is a huge range of settings you can tweak to your liking. You can also check out this page http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1182351 for premade tunes that you can download based on your equipment. I'm still wrapping my head around the finer points of how the software works but what an improvement over the stock HiFi (what you have). Hope this helps!
Tempting mate....might pull the trigger here
