I don’t have any experience with the Bimmertech stuff, but I will speculate the Bimmertech stuff will have a similar improvement.
Can this be done with the sh*tty hifi system mine was delivered with?

Eton makes speakers that are Plug and play for this vehicle and that should most certainly be better than the Bavsound I just need to learn more about the efficiencies of each before I commit.
Sure it can. However, I am not sure how well the new DSP profiles, etc will work with the HiFi system. The equipment for the HiFI, HK and B&W systems are all different, most notably the amps in all 3 systems are different. However, the specs for the B&W and HK systems, including the amps, are much closer to each other than the HiFi system specs.

This is not to say that coding the B&W stuff won't help the HiFi system sound better (I have not heard the HiFi system in the X7 though). But the sound improvement may not be the same like what I, and others, have heard when using the B&W coding with the HK system. But the coding is very simple with BimmerCode so if it does not work out, you can easily code it back to stock.
