my point exactly, i found these people called BSW....Bavarian Soundwerks, google BSW BMW and u will find their home page. these company specializes in bmw sound and what not, i asked them and they said that upgrading the amp to push more power to the subs would solve the problem... what do you think?

You might blow your underseat subs, if you just add a powerful amp. My suggestion would be, change out the underseat subs and add a new amp. Or get sealed box in your trunk with a new amp. I did it, so its very very easy.

and also, how would i change the underseat subs? they are so shallow, i dont know of any aftermarket subs would fit down there...... i want to keep my car looking 100% stock, so that huge subwoofer box in the box...not an option.

AFAIK, only SWS-8 will replace subs under seats perfectly. Others are too thick. I replaced on my previous E60 and it works great. Bass is more crisp and clear. I'm thinking about swabbing it for my new E60 without adding an amp, but I found that 70W might not good enough for SWS-8.
