I was told yesterday at a car audio shop that to replace the head unit of the e39 with DSP there is only one option if you want "professional" quality and that is full rewire. HOWEVER, there are some brands out there that I have heard are plug and play like Dynavin and folks have posted good results.

Therefore, I think you could do BavSound speakers and the Dynavin head unit and not have to rewire. If you want a fancy deck like Alpine, Sony, etc…they are not compatible the the DSP wiring and amp.

I just bought a Grom Audio trunk unit to add Bluetooth functionality. It retains stock look (I have '01 without Nav) but allows full control with built in steering and radio buttons. We will see how it turns out. Theoretically you could add that and do BavSound for DSP and have upgraded speakers with Bluetooth functionality.
