Looking for recomendations on a shop to add an amp and sub to my car. I have tried cold calling and either get attitude, or someone that sounds like they should not be working on my car. I am in the Orange County area.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Methodsound seem to also know the E60's audio system in and out. They even do some programming of the iDrive.

Yeah I spoke with Michael several months ago and he does know the E60 like the back of his hand. His E60 looks sick. I am planning to possible use him to upgrade my sound in a few months.

Let us know what u end up doing. And if your planning to upgrade your speakers, I have setup a group buy on the Jenhert Custom Door Panels for the E60. Email me, Subwayali@yahoo.com or go to the group buy section and check it out.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Def Michael / Method Sound. Had him install Dension 500, upgrade iDrive system to support it, 12" sub/box, amps and custom tweeters in dash board (under front glass) which gives a 100% better quality surround sound! He knows E60's (owns one himself) and is a good dude.

+1 for Method Sound. I had my Hifi system upgraded with an Audison amp and center channel tweeters for an awesome sound stage. I'm planning on going back for a sub woofer upgrade and possible sound processor.

amit1974 - lmk if you wanna meet up sometime and check out what Michael put into my car and see how you like it before you go making decisions... You can pm me if you want. One 12" sub and amp made a huuuuge diff in the sound!
