I agree with Lockman_321
He did a good job of keeping the cost down but started with Hi fi I believe.
Agree with this.

In the UK I was quoted £1300 to have the MB Quart 200.3 + Underseat + Amplifier installed. However if you take your time and do it yourself you can get the parts for no more that £400. Also as Ctuna said, many of these installers don't actually understand the BMW system. There is an example thread on here with that exact problem.

If your someone who has a bit of time and doesn't mind researching on these forums I would honestly say that you would be better off purchasing the parts and carrying out a DIY as you will save so much money and potentially have a better system at the end of it.

Also I did start with the base system so it was a complete upgrade for me.
