Im still cruising to BMW Business, but my car came with the 'HiFi' upgrade, so I have 11 speakers (Tourer, so it only has 1 sub, not two hence the missing 12th speaker). The headunit doesnt provide the amping, there's a BMW amp in the boot behind the changer. Replaced the changer with a Sony MP3 changer and using a ibus -> sony interface. It works for the most part, although it doesnt allow album skip like the sony headunit would.
I've got a Kenwood Sub enhancing the bass, but set quite low so it doesnt overpower the system. Quite a nice balanced sound. I'll probably upgrade the front speakers at some point, but with all the airbags everywhere, I am a little concerned about ripping out the door cards and setting them off. (Anyone know anything about E39 side airbags?)

My thoughts too!
Just looked through your "portfolio" (is that the word?) and all the rest of them are class.
Obviously the content is good, nay awesome, but is it the camera that makes them look so "crisp"? I've never been able to take a good picture with any of our cameras, including 7.1MP ones.
I'm guessing that the 7.1MP has very little to do with quality in the end? Is it even possible to take nice photos with them?
Megapixels means nothing really. The sensors in cameras come in different physical sizes. The larger the sensor physically the higher the number of photons (light particals) that will hit any given pixel increases, giving less noise. The smaller the sensor the more error correction the camera uses to compensate, and that can reduce sharpness.
Even the big DSLR's come with different sensor sizes, although even the cheapest DSLR will have a far bigger sensor than a point and click. You also gain the ability to use a very large apature lens, which give the effect mrk's photo demonstrates, where everything infront, and behind the 'subject' is out of focus (Look at the gearstick), but the subject itself is sharp. Very good at drawing your eye to the subject in the image. A small apature on the lens has the opposite effect, a much greater depth of focus, which would make everything in the picture sharp, but also (in my option) make an interesting photo look dull.
