Pics kinda small. But it seems like it takes up about as much room as a backpack so u should have plenty of space left, providing u position it better. For $350 it seems like an ok deal.

Hum, I've seen that, but honestly I wouldn't trust it to be very good quality.

I'd say find a used 10" sub and small amp for cheap, then fab a custom mini-enclosure yourself.

agreed.

i doubt there is much sound quality in that unit. and bav auto is known to be extremely over priced, so you know when it's only 350, it is actually cheap.

I'm with Spieluhr, BavAuto is usually overpriced. But if you don't mind that, it could be just the ticket, since it's plug n' play- no wiring to figure out . . you could go from under the xmas tree to the trunk in literally 5min

As far as sound, it should do well because it includes a passive radiator and bass boost. That is, as long as you have a stock stereo; it may be slightly underpowered if you've changed your head unit and interior speakers.

Are you in any way affiliated with that website? It seems to be very... non-objective/commercial/spam'ish.

No, I recently found that post on BimmerForums. I am interested in this subwoofer as well.
