Finally finished wiring up the LED lightings strips and installing the boot panels. After 18 months since we started, the boot is finally finished... Looks stunning.... Big thanks to Jay from Wicks Wires for all the time and effort he put into this build. No more ugly wires !!!

Been a while since I last posted in here. Most of the modding and car audio system is done after what has been a 10 year project .... No plans to sell or part out the car, finally get to just drive and enjoy it..... Ok maybe just one more mod

For regular viewers, you will know that I have spent a fair bit of time and effort building my own car audio system. For anyone who likes their music, I can tell you upgrading the sound system is one of the best upgrades you can do. Anyone you tells you that the E9x platform can't be made to sound good, has no idea what they are talking about These cars have excellent OEM locations that show BMW actually thought about this aspect of the cars design. So underseat midbass with proper venting, 4 inch mids in the upper door cards so provide mids that would play low enough to integrate with the under seat mbass and tweeters in the sails, while not idea locations are locations that work together well. For those that are interested in car audio, I have a youtube channel (socket car audio) where I have tutorials on car audio tuning and related stuff (link below). If anyone is considering going down this route, feel free to reach out to me here or on the youtube channel, as I would be happy to point you in the right direction

love it, you must socket to the neighbors from the bottom of the street nowadays: clap:

I see in my dirty ol diesel athlete there is a center channel with the HK system. Seems to direct really well from the windscreen, so a L & R must work great.

I've never had 11 speakers before just love it, more the merrier they say. Yours must be amazing.
