The components to the stereo upgrades were great, however some items were missing to make the system sound great. After speaking with Jack we were able to obtain our objective of getting a solid system running lossless.
Components
Helix V TWELVE DSP MK2
The Conductor / by Helix
Remove the system and start fresh, new wiring and making sure the components are fitting correctly in the doors etc.
The Bav Audio 5 inch woofers were all disconnected as they were the weak link in the system.

Very happy with the Piaa's. I had to trim the wiper blade a bit back as it was hitting the window seal.

BMW Tie Rod Kit With Link - Meyle E38TIERODKIT-MY
OEM Part Number Associated with the Kit
3160404349, 1014578, 3160204351
Comes with center drag link and outer tie rod ends, the ideal solution for restoring your BMW's steering to factory condition
As your car's mileage increases, it is best to check the steering and suspension for excessive play due to wear. Additionally, if you are experiencing abnormal tire wear, or steering wheel vibration at speed you should also check these components for possible replacement.
Steering Tie Rod Assembly
The tie rods of your vehicle play a critical role as they're the link between the power steering rack and pinion and the wheel spindle. Tie rod ends contain ball joints that tend to wear out over time due to constant wear and tear. When the ball joints within the tie rod wear out, it allows for play within the wheels which can throw off your alignment and cause uneven tire wear. Its always encouraged to check your tie rod ends for play as well as tires for uneven wear at every service interval. When replacing worn tie rod ends its always recommend to replace them in pairs as well as to perform an alignment.

Turner Mono-ball Control Arm Upgrade Kit - Pre-installed - E38
Turner Motorsport
T#: 402092 | Part#: 022015TMS09KT
Product Details
BMW’s are known to have failure prone front thrust arm bushings. The flexible rubber bushings, even those found in M performance models, allow significant movement of the front wheels to maximize daily driving comfort, but also allow considerable alignment change. This results in a disconnected and numb road feel, standing between you and a confidence inspiring driving experience. Eventually the fluid filled rubber bushings fatigue and crack due to continual deflection and ozone degradation, and eventually the damping fluid leaks out resulting in complete failure.
For the enthusiast looking for superior performance and longevity with a crisp, confidence-inspiring driving experience, our sealed ball joint monoballs are the best solution available! Our experience with spherical front control arm ball joints goes back to those we designed and used in our IMSA E90 328i and E92 M3 race cars (GS class Champions in 2011). We wanted to offer as many BMW owners possible a similar level of handling, precision, and control for the track and street.
Utilizing a sealed OEM BMW ball joint for exceptional quality and durability, making them completely at home on both the street and track with no compromise. We have done extensive street, autocross, and track testing to ensure the ball joint used in this bushing design excels in each setting. The advantage of a sealed ball joint is that it eliminates all unwanted deflection while still allowing complete bind-free movement throughout suspension travel, resulting in exceptional control of wheel alignment. What you get is superior steering precision, turn-in response, direct braking feedback, and better handling.
In short, if you're seeking the ultimate in precise, predictable handling and control, with crisp braking response and a long service life that’s equally at home on the street or track - look no further. We have you covered.
We offer these control arms with the monoball bearings pre-installed for your convenience. Since BMW recommends the control arms be replaced for every other bushing change, we prefer to sell these as a pre-assembled set. The bushings are also available separately if you wish to source your own control arms.
Features:
Control Arm Bearing
CNC machined corrosion resistant 304 Stainless steel shell, bolt sleeves, & snap rings
Sealed spherical ball joint for long service life & maintained OE fitment
Suspension pre-load is no longer required when torquing the control arm hardware
Performance
Nearly instantaneous, crisp steering and braking response.
Maintenance free, long lasting performance.
Improved road feel without undesirable NVH.
Also the car has been leaking oil -
