Got my Stage One kit installed on my F60 Countryman.
I have the base audio system (without tweeters) and wanted a clearer sound without going crazy...
I got them installed within an hour, and had no issue with the whole process.
They do sound amazing (especialy for the price!). I wasn’t expecting a lot but immediately noticed a huge improvement across the whole range (from highs to lows). Sound is much richer and balanced.
Quality-wise, those little 4” drivers are quite impressive!
I am very happy with my upgrade, and couldn’t ask more for $300!

I installed Bavsound stage 1 and ghost subwoofers in my 2017 JCW and it sounded more clear, but still not enough power in this system. So I ordered the Bimmertech amp (Match PP 82DSP) and cable, installed it and tuned it with the software. The system does not have the booming bass because the design of the subs and enclosure, but the system is now extremely clear and sounds excellent. To me worth the time and money. Even my dealer is at a loss for words on how good it sounds.

Either way the stock MINI set up is insufficient for people who like loud clear sound.

They told me that they had never tried a Mini. I said since it is the same system as the BMW 2 series (HK System) it should not be a problem. They sent me the amp and wiring harness, plug and play. Worked great. They wanted me to bring the car to Florida so that they could install and tune it for a couple hundred bucks but I decided to so it myself. Easy install but tuning took a little while to get it right. Could stand a little more bass but not a problem for me. I don't listen to bass driven type music (RAP). I usually listen to classic rock and jazz and it sounds excellent. But the stock setup from the factory has an anemic sound.

Holy crap this was far from a couple of hours install. Sorry from bringing this thread back from the dead, but jeez. First the good, the stage 1 system in my stock f56 is way better than stock, even with no amp. The bad, the install instructions are only available by YouTube link and while entertaining they lack on substance. Additionally, as I read on this thread, my two set of speakers had no instructions inside as to which pair went in front and which in rear. Seriously folks, almost 2 years later and still the same lack of instructions? If I hadn’t stopped and read this thread I would have kept the non capacitor speakers in the front as I had installed them. Additionally the only way I noticed the difference between the pair was by seeing a large bump on the wire harness on a speaker. Come on folks, your product clearly improves on what the factory puts out at what I consider a reasonable price. That said poor delivery and lack of instructions, directions, is not good for business, well not for the long run. Rant over, back to your regularly scheduled program.

I installed the 4 speakers & underneath ghost subs on my R60 countryman, and was disappointed. The stock base unit simply doesn't have enough power for these upgraded speakers. Bavsound doesn't sell an optional amp for the R60. Looking for alternative amp options to power all 4 speakers + 2 ghost subs now.

You can get a pre built wiring harness ready to go from TechnicPNP. The BMW E90 3 series share audio equipment with the MINI R60, so these will work:

JL Audio XD600/6v2 6-channel car amplifier - 75 watts RMS x 6
You won't regret it, except maybe for the cost of it. TechnicPNP can get them for you, although he isn't an authorized dealer for it. He said he would honor factory length warranty when I bought it. Only catch was he didn't know battery location for my F56 and sent a very short power cable. Do yourself a favor with any amp and buy a higher quality all copper power cable.

Any compact 6-channel amp should work. Or a 4 channel if you don’t care about the rears; you can leave them powered by the head unit and only amp the underseat and front speakers.
You can get a pre built wiring harness ready to go from TechnicPNP. The BMW E90 3 series share audio equipment with the MINI R60, so these will work:

Check your compartments in your trunk. There might be one in the left or right one on the sides. There is a R60 audio section that might better be suited to answer...

To me the sound has improved substantially, however I didn’t go with the ghost subs and bass is desperately needed. Just the fact of 600 bucks seems steep. Looking at options now. It does really need an amp. Still searching how to do this. Prefer to power all 6 speakers. I did find what appears to be a amp connector, but if it works it’s missing several wires. Techpnp did send me one, but it appears that it connects between the wiring harness and then connects to the asd module. If correct it gives me an rca connection for an amp. However I’m guessing I would still need to wire each speaker directly?

TechnicPNP knows BMW really well, he isn't fluent on MINI. I think you will find similarity between the generations, you will just have to dig and research.
