Has anyone removed the stock hi-fi amp on the m235i yet? Not sure how to remove the stock amp on the M235i so any help would be appreciated thanks!

It's under the trunk liner on the driver side of the trunk so just remove the clips holding the trunk liner in place. I believe there are 3 (one of them is closer to the back seats). Also remove the ring that mounts through the trunk liner on that side. It's just a single torx screw, I don't remember the size but it's nothing funky so if you have a set lying around you should have it. Once those are all out just pop the trunk liner out and unplug the 12 volt socket, should see the amp sitting there. Amp is held down by another torx or 10mm bolt so just remove that, unclip the plug and out it comes.

Sorry I don't remember specifics it's been a couple months since I had it out.
