Thanks for the reply Halston.

A friend of mine noted that some 2008 LCI cars have a different system; something called DIRAC that BSW currently has no upgrades for. Is that true?
DIRAC is a new system that is optional. We are working an upgrade. It wasn't available when we first started working on the e90 and e60.

How do we know if our LCI car has this or not? If it does, are there any upgrade options for us? What exactly IS DIRAC?

round silver-rimmed speaker grilles in the front doors. It's completely different speakers, an 800+W amp, and some really fancy digital signal processing. Haven't heard it. Was optional on the M5 from about 3/07 on.

Didn't even get to get my Chipotle burrito for lunch until 3:30

On the group buy front. I am going to post something up. I can assure you, up front, if the group buy goes through and it is 20%. I most definitely will refund the difference. You won't be 'left out' because you decided to order first I will even count you as a 'buyer' for the group buy so we have 1 down. 2 including Felix who already bought with the black friday deal. I can say that we have already shipped 15-20 of these since it was released at the end of 2008. Most customers are not on forums so we don't always see reviews.

Orders normally ship in 24-48 hours. That all depends on how many orders from the day and what all was ordered. We will get it out. With the free ground shipping it is 2-3 days ground once it leaves here.
Halston,
Gotta Love Chipotle as I said on the phone.

The main purpose for the post was to let fellow forum members know that I have purchased the Stage 1 speakers, will be installing them as soon as I receive them, that I haven't received anything from you in lieu of me submitting a glowing post, and that I will provide an honest review as soon as I get those babies installed.

Can't wait!

Also, thanks for being willing to include me should you offer a Group Buy. I am glad you are posting on this forum, as I think you will find lots of members interested in upgrading their 5-Series.

Good Luck & welcome over here

It will be going up tomorrow. I had to check inventory. See what we have here, what is coming. If the response is huge I don't want 'late to the party' customers to be left hanging while they wait for the next palette to come in.
