If you have a standard head unit a new one I found made a huge difference in the sound.
I'm not bothering with speakers just yet I am quite content with the standard ones.

I'd give my left arm for an original Z3 single CD head-unit, its a Japanese thingy in there at a mo and I have no idea which button I should press, when I should press it and what it does when I do press it :banghead: totally baffling and looks horrendous.

They all make cool OEM ish head units.

Best start with a modern headunit and then start upgrading speakers.

Another vote for just changing the head unit. My Zed came with a Sony head unit that looked like a mobile disco. I fitted an original BMW Business cd/radio head unit - looked perfect & sounded terrible, finally settled on a Blaupunkt Toronto head unit.CD/Radio plus of course blu tooth & all mod cons, sensible price, big improvement in sound and sober styling. Must admit I'm considering a slimline sub for behind the drivers seat too.
