Does anybody know how to get hold of Technic - I've pm'd him already.
Need a wiring harness for the F30 hifi option for a JBL MS-8 delivered to US

Well while you're here...forgive what's probably a stupid question...but is the MS-8 the same as the JL Audio 800, in that it either one can be used as a direct replacement for the OEM amp (using your harness of course)? The MS-8 tends to be cheaper than the JL Audio.

MS-8 =DSP/8ch amp
JL Audio XD800/8 = 8ch amp

XD800 has quite a bit more power I see. Is it safe to say overall sound quality is better with the JL? I know, it kind of depends on one's interpretation of quality, type of music etc. Physically, does one fit better in the F30 amp location than the other?

The XD800/8 is just an amp, only crossovers and gains to adjust. The MS-8 is a full DSP processor that happens to have an integrated 8ch amp section.

Please do a search on Google and in this forum (F30 and E90) on both devices for technical and reliability details. The XD800 is considerably longer than the MS-8 so it may or may not fit the OEM amp location.
