I can't shake this thought. Nobody actually replaces existing speakers with brand new factory speakers, and the capacitors in the HK amplifier are due for an upgrade by this point anyway, because again, NOBODY would buy a brand new HK amplifier.
As such, the last ears to hear a brand new stock sound system are from 2005 or so, almost 20 years ago (yikes).
I'm very tempted to recap the amplifier (looks easy to do) and simply by brand new speakers from BMW if the price is right.
Am I crazy here?
[edit]
I just saw the price of new speakers from BMW, and I am indeed, crazy. It seems the Bavsound is the only good option, short of some DIY mess, or the crazy guy with the kit on eBay (who stole what some forum poster from e46fanatics I think put together and decided to make a kit out of it).
