The car has the media pack which gives me Nav Prof, Bluetooth and 6DC changer. I had to push the dealer to enable MP3 on the in dash CD though.
The sound isnt that bad but definatley lacks the low down I've been used to.

Or is it just the Bluetooth module. If it is its a bloody big box just for a bit of bluetooth!!!
I don't have a photo of the amp readily available but on my car, it's mounted in the same area as the TCU but it has a fan or two on the end. I think there's a pic posted here -- I'll take a look around when I get a chance...

Okay, I found the pic I was thinking about:
I'm pretty sure the amp (for Logic 7 cars) is the unit that the sun is shining on (with the fan outlets).
Hope that helps...

Thanks Rudy and Bruce
Looks like I'm going to be out of luck.. I'm in the UK and dont have L7 or Hi-Fi so where would I find the amp? Or do I need to tap into the speaker connections in the roof.
Maybe I should have mentioned I've got an E61.

I have the same problems with my E61: poor sound quality. I believe that you would also need to add a power amp before the subs.

Hi Rudy,
I had a look and there is a mounting point where the dagram shows but no amplifier. I wonder if it is near the bluetooth module that is under the floor just behind the seats. Only problem is I dont remember seeing it when I took the picture of the module. I am at a loss here why BMW would mount different components for the same system in different places in different cars and country dependant
I'm feeling a bit :'(
I have downloaded TIS though it is Spanish I'm sure I can read the diagrams.

I got a touring and Hi-Fi system not the Prologic one and the amplifier is in the place wherer Rudy said showing the picture but the amplifier is very small an is a small box 5x6 inches. If you don't have the HiFi system you won't find any amplifier so if you want ad one you should tap directly from the radio or from the speakers.
Try to see if this can help you.
