Help with Audio upgrade options(aftermarket ) for the 2013 X1(US model)

Hi All, I have the Standard Hifi audio on my new X1. The dealership said BMW does not offer an upgrade and I have to look at aftermarket options.

I am looking for help if anyone has considered aftermarket upgrades to the amp and speakers.

I have Premium + Technology packages on my car, dont have the park distance control and backup camera.

I can't give you any feedback on these (I have the HK system in my X1) but you might want to consider them:

I have the same options and was going to ask the same thing. My dealership recommended a shop that has a kit that is "drop in" and won't affect OEM looks or warranty. It's a Focal kit that replaces the four door speakers. Supposedly much better sound quality. No change in power though :/. About $750 installed.
Hope that helped.

Anyone else have ideas or feedback? Otherwise I will research it more and, at least, do this.

We have a member here who bought this kit sometime last week and is having it installed shortly. I feel using this kit or the future one from BSW is going to be much better than stock.
