Answer
I do not give equipment recommendations.  Why?  Because there are too many subjective issues going on.  If you are listening to classical background music the technical needs are totally different than if you want a show car that thumps the neighborhood at midnight.

You need to shop around, take a look at crutchfield.com and go through the "outfit my car" routine and find out what fits and works in your car.  Crutchfield is the most knowledgeable company in the world for what works in every car around.  And, you don't need to buy it from them; they are just a really good source of what's working in your car.

If you want custom sound then you need a custom installer who knows your car and has mounted up a beemer before.

The electronics are the easiest to deal with;  speaker systems and the enclosure boxes will have the greatest overall effect on the final sound quality.

Happy hunting.
