You have commended Jammy for just adding OE tweeters as it makes a big difference. If I can stretch to the Glayden set up now, won't that be even better seeing as I can get them for what appears to be a great price.

Apologies, if thats the case.

You may not get optimal results out of Gladen kit. See what Gizze said, that half of the time the drivers / kits are set / fitted inappropriately.

I will admit I am very naive to BMW set ups and I'm finding a lot of it confusing as I've never had these issues with previous cars. I don't even know what LOC is for example.

IF you do not want to add LOC (speaker level to low level converter so you can feed the amp), then look for those amps which accept differential balanced input. Some examples are JL, Rockford, Gladen, and Mosconi.
They are expensive for a reason mate.

Sure mate, all the best.
