The Polk Audio Signature Reference line is actually a fantastic speaker line. The subs are nothing spectacular but are just as good as JL W6 anything else out there but the SR line component speakers are one of my favorite component sets out there. Are you ( or did you ) going to install the front SR speakers in the front doors? They only come in 5.25 or 6.5 inch component sets so it would have to be custom and may or may not be worth it. I just had to ask if you are going that far.

Sound system looks great!

Grills... eh... not my type; especially the bottom area.... Might want to try another camera since wire grills will show up more 'chrome' with better lenses/higher resolution.

i had the polk sr 6.5 components fronts and rears for my honda accord but i sold them about 3 months ago. i really didnt wanna do all that with the bmw system espically having the L7 system.. and by the way sr sub hit harder then the w6.. there one of the better sounding subs out there....

Does the engine get enough air?
No overheating problems?

At least all the bolts will fall off the car with those bases

Yeah, I don't like the grill or the front spoiler, it took away the BMW look + the fog lights give it an aggressive look.
