[TheGoodTheBadTheUgly]

Hello all,

Recently totaled my 2011 335i xDrive N55 and went with a 2015 X1 35i M-Sport to stick with the beautiful engine and suspension setup.

This being said, the X1 in specific did not have a iDrive system (screen) while also having the base audio setup which I want to upgrade since it's quite bad.

I added a 12" screen that I got on Aliexpress and I am currently adding a reverse camera. The screen is a great addition mainly because it enables me to now have Bluetooth for music and not calls only.

I did some research, for good upgrades but most of the threads are pretty old and I wanted to see if there are any newer or better ways. I found some people that went with the Alpine retrofit while other's have explored the BavSound route. There is also the AlphaOne products that do offer an amplifier upgrade too, but unsure if it's worth the price for what I want.

From what I understand, there are no tweeter with this base setup nor is there any amplifier. Anyone would have suggestions as to what might be worth it, or personal experience with some systems?

Thanks all!
