I have done this on my E60, and truthfully there is not much discernable difference.

Furthermore, the reason the sound quality sucks so badly on the AUX input is because of noise inducement... which is not helped by removing the resistors.
Enjoyment of audio is a psychacoustic experience.

You may notice from the link to the mod that I provided, there are many people who had a different experience.

One of those people... I removed the resistor from the AUX line and the sound is much better... bass improved tremendously... I actually enjoy using my iPod now.

According to my service rep the aux input does not yield quality audio. He advised me against doing it.
I found the AUX input to be of marginal audio quality compared to the MOST iPod interface. However, I think he was asking if he could still keep the AUX as an option. The answer is yes.
