In terms of install, your dealer can do it, if they are up for it, but it's not an Appeoved bmw retrofit, so they can't code the NBT for B&O. You will need to do that yourself with esys. You will also need a wiring loom which has to be made to the car. PM for details of where to buy that from. It's not a BMW part as such but the vendor makes them up with all the bmw connectors. Bank on 2 full days at hourly rate as a minimum. If you don't already have 11 speakers with front door tweeters, forget it. Sell the car and buy a new one. To fit all the kit needed to go to B&O I'd guess 10 to 15k. My BMW dealer did do it but not sure that they want to do another one. I knew all the coding required so they were happy I wouldn't complain when it didn't work on handover.

Thanks a lot for the really great info. It sounds like a tonne of work, I will wait til work calms down a bit so I can spend some quality time learning about it properly. Might just leave it and get a new exhaust as my treat instead!
