I spoke with a guy at a car accessory shop yesterday as I was looking into a $200 "bass bazooka". It could be a travesty in some ways to order the M2 with the stock stereo and then subsequently upgrading at the car audio shop. Essentially, a perfectly good sound system could end up collecting dust or buried in the landfill.

Good audio in a car is mostly based on positioning of the speakers and the type of hardware used. The normal Hifi system doesn't have the high positioned tweeters (correct me if I am wrong), which makes a huge difference. Also HK will have a better crossover installed, making sure the speakers have better audio steering.
So all in all you can upgrade your audio system with more speakers but then you are going to position similar type speakers in the higher positions in the doors and maybe add some additional gear in the trunk.
If you really want the best speakers and best audio go to a good aftermarket specialist and let him build-in something decent costing you decent cash. You do not want to spend so much, just go for HK. It is decent enough and saves you the hassle. It just gives that extra little bit of high and mid level mix to the audio you need.
And a bass bazooka belongs in the back of 15 year old 320d with a fake M body kit, imitation M badges and Asian replica M wheels, not in a brand new M2
