I've gotten a couple installer recommendations from gearheads I know, both suggested I be prepared to pay for the complexity of dealing with BMW electronics. That makes me REALLY want to track down a shop that works with BMW systems regularly.

It is. nightmare. not worth it. as far as the rest of it i'm not sure. seems like all the high end shops around town closed up over the years. I used to be huge into the scene but haven't done anything for 10+ years. I know a couple of great installers but neither has touched the stuff in years and i know they got out of the game. One installed for Audio King (he's even a bmw guy) & the the other Midwest speaker.
