Thanks folks,

I had a look at their website and it's just what I'm looking for
Does anyone have any experience of ordering from them? There doesn't appear to be a UK distributor link on their website. I've dropped them an e-mail to ask but just wondered if anyone has actually bought from them.

So does anyone know if changing the factory fitted speakers would improve the sound quality? I have the standard UK audio, which is not the best but I don't want to start pulling the car to bits. I've heard of replacement subs for the ones under the front seats but can't find any info on them.

I'd probably be happy with changing the subs and the front door speakers. I may consider adding a 'speaker level in' amp but unsure.

A bit off topic but does anyone know if it's possible to retro fit either NAV Bus or NAV Pro to a standard Business Radio non NAV car?
Retro-fitting navigation can be done but is expensive if done by your dealer (circa ?3k). However, there is a post under the mods forum on this site that details a DIY retrofit with OEM parts and it looks good. Have a search and you will find it. It also details the required parts along with links to the BMW fitting intructions that are downloadable in .PDF.
