that is alll bull $hit
There are a few make that you can get for out E60 and there is a very good make for the sub woofer under the seat.
call me I let you know.
Even when i went to those A/V shops in Mong Kok, they also said the same thing. There arent AS many options as other car brands because E60 uses small speakers.... Not the usual 6x9's or component speakers etc....

I am not too bothered about the headunit, as I do want to keep it looking "factory" and want to be able to use i-drive to control as well as steering wheel controls.

the steering controls are definitely handy and safe to use. if thats important to you, i would check how good the standard head unit is first, otherwise shit goes in, shit comes out. good speakers will only reveal the bad source more. might be just add a subwoofer to get more base.

This thing could cost you 200K p.a. to fix. Just out of my wild guess.
I was v tempted to get a testarossa last year, but after checking on maintainance, I passed. mind you, if you get an f40 or enzo, then the cost can be offset by appreciation.
