Probably me but i dont really understand it. Look at my amp it doesnt even have a spot for the speakers or sub. It has bridgeable things it says look at picture and the low input spots.

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
Sorry I couldn't resist shouting, if you cannot recognise that the "bridgeable thingie" is for your speakers then I would seriously not mess about with this car. If you cannot follow my DIY then I would not do this myself.

Sorry for sounding so unhelpful but "Does your dad know what you are attempting on his car?" Seriously man go get this done somewhere else.

Seriously, not to be a jerk, but this is probably not the project to learn how to install aftermarket amps/subs. The BMW has a very complex wiring system, and you run the risk of causing some serious issues, first and foremost the possibility of blowing the factory amp or head unit, which will then cost you much more than the few hundred someone will charge you to install it professionally, especially if you take it there all set and ready to be wired in. Just thinking about any of those wires being unnecessarily "cut" to pick up a signal makes me want to cry a little bit.

There is another write up that was simpler then Bruces. Bruce might be to much of a perfectionist for your level of experience.
