Answer
Hi Steven,

If your BMW is equipped with a factory 6-speaker audio system, then you can use a Metra 70-8590 wire harness.  If you have the 10-speaker system, you can still use the 70-8590 harness, but you might find that the output level is too loud.  If so, you'd need a premium sound adapter interface, or you can use a Metra 70-8591 harness instead.  The 70-8591 uses the new head unit's RCA outputs instead of the speaker outputs, so that a lower signal level is sent to the factory amp.  This only works if your Pioneer head unit is equipped with front and rear pre-amp outputs.

Hope this helps!
