I hate kbb and nada! They have my BMW at $49k+ and I'm only being offered $45k on it. I even went to Carmax and BMW to get quotes and they were $44k and $45k respectively. Put's the IS-F at $64,900 now. Doesn't look so good.

Cars were anywhere from $57k-$59k. I went with the $59k, but because I got a better deal on the trade. Sorry for the pics as I just used my iPhone at the dealership. I'll have to get my professional camera for a good shoot. Already hardwired my radar and installed sub last night.

I put in a 12" JL Audio W3 with a JL Audio 500.1 amp. I used this in my 2008 335i and 2011 BMW 535i (never put in the GT-R to save weight). I think the Harmon Kardon was a much better stereo than the ML in the IS-F. That being said, with a very subtle gain setting on the amp, I was able to turn the bass down on the ML system and adjust accordingly with the new sub. Much better, but still not up to the Harmon Kardon.

Install took me about 3-1/2 hours last night. Hardest part was getting the wires into the trunk without removing the back seat. Then I couldn't find a remote wire, so I ran another wire down the driver side to the front fuse box and tapped into the same spot as my radar detector (heated seat 15 amp fuse).

Different cars for different purposes. The GTR is very focused on one thing and it does that very well. The ISF is a better all around car (my opinion of course). Enjoy!

I disagree. At first I didn't like the 10-11's but after having them for a while I think they are much better than the 08-09's and the 12's. Just my 2¢
