The latter. Nothing about the BMW head to amp interfacing is the least bit generic, so there are no generic replacement options. If there were you could spend 1/2 to 1/3 for the same or better results. For instance this:

For more power this:

Plus this:

Either would work very well, but installation wouldn't be plug and play.
