Could I add a interior amp? Or would I have to replace the one in the car? I would just get new speakers and add a interior amp. I mean in a normal car it seems easy, when it comes to BMW, I feel like its more difficult. I Logic 7 Amplifier is probably 5-600$ new.
I saw the post on E90, its a nice setup but a budget under 2,000$ is a nice budget. I wouldn't want to spend close to that. I already have 2 amps a JL W6 and a W3, I would need speakers, thats all. (IF I COULD UPGRADE IT)
I don't know, I may just bring it to a professional audio store and get some opinions first. I would definitely entertain upgrading to LOGIC 7 but not from the dealer, probably like 2400$ from those rip offs!

Speakers and dsp should run you about $1200.

I too agree, its a mistake to go for the BSW if you have the Normal US Hi-Fi system. BSW sell the same speakers for the upgrade from L7 and Hi-Fi, except for the Hi-Fi they sell you fewer speakers. The problem with this approach is that the HU is not driving the BSW speakers as hard the L7 amp would. The result is a worse than before result.
Not a lot of people will give you this feedback after spending a stack of cash for something.

The improvement that the BSW gives over the stock system is marginal at best.Its pretty well documented everywhere. One thing for sure, their marketing department is doing an awesome job.
There's so much better out there to choose from. Rainbow, DLS, Seas, Scan-Speak, Morel, Dynaudio etc..
For a nice, noticeable upgrade i recommend doing something like this

I have the Logic7, and I upgraded to BSW last fall. I think the upgrade was decent in overall. The sound is clearer than with the stock speakers, especially on the higher notes. I understand that these speakers require more power to sound good than a standard system can give without an aftermarket amp. But like said, it is a decent upgrade for a Logic7 system; 7 (quality) speakers, plug&play wiring etc. makes it a very tempting package. I was redoing my interior back then too, and I didn't need any more hassle and work with the speakers. I used to have Rainbow speakers in my previous car and they were great as well.

Thanks for the clarification! I was thinking that too...

Programmed if I update to L7. Jesus. Everything with BMW is made to take more $$ out of your pocket! I definitely will just go somewhere local and see whats what. Spending over 1,000$ for Logic 7 (ATLEAST $1,000) is not probably a good idea. Thanks for the opinions either way, Ill get some quotes and see whats what.

I suggest going with Rainbow for speakers and also suggest getting a DSP like ms-8. Give Don a buzz, he's in Edison http://www.exquisitemarketinggroup.com/
Speakers and dsp should run you about $1200.
