I cant shell out 700 for a new let alone 1000

any other aftermarket options? Anyone have a used one for sale??

 

Because your vehicle uses a fiber optic multimedia transport, you'll have to stick with a BWM amplifier without a complete audio system overhaul. I would search using your BMW amplifier part number at this and other sites. I haven't found this part for sale on this site.

Example:

"65129181743"
"65 12 9 181 743"
"65-12-9-181-743"

E60 545i Amplifier/holder,HiFi Professional DSP

Try locating a wrecked E60 as well.

 

You can find. Few on ebay if your lucky

 

keep an eye out on ebay. i scored the individual audio amp (the 08 M5 one with DIRAC) for $200! haven't been had time to try to code the CCC for it though.

 

Maybe a recycler (junk yard) will have one. They are usually atl least 50% off retail.

 

I'm not sure if the same P/N applies to other BMW models -3'ers 7's etc.

IF it does you could consider posting a WTB on some of the model specific forums.

A word of caution, I personally am not a Craigs List fan because it seems overrun with thieves and scammers. BUT, that said, you should try to scour the classified there to see if any are available.

Good luck with the hunt!

 

or replace the L7 amp with a MOST audio DSP and then use normal analogue amps.

 

Quite a few on ebay right now.

 

Verify part number and condition of unit. BMW Logic 7 amplifier

Also try searching crazedlist for your area.
