Honestly, I would recommend learning or having your system installed by a professional. I just bought a Z4 with an aftermarket system installed by someone who “didn’t know much about wiring in car audio” and it caused me a massive great headache. And it’s not over! I’m just making the best of a bad situation until I can swing the cash to
really fix their mistakes properly.

Is there an easy splice to the antenna for the REM. My e86 doesn’t have the professional or factory amp in the trunk but does have the subs. I have a mtx amp that ran aftermarket subs I had in another car. I miss the bass that my e85 has when in the e86, I don’t want to rattle my license plate off, but having been a bass player do want to hear some bass lines that are getting lost so I have other subs to run from the mtx amp and still want to keep factory hu.

If you have the “basic” 6 speaker audio system, there’s probably not an amp remote wire at all. Most sub amps have auto turn-on when they receive signal; It’s not ideal but it’s simple and it works so you might go that route. Otherwise you’ll be splicing into something somewhere in the factory wiring harness to get a switched power signal.
I would also recommend using a quality LOC or channel processor if your plan is to keep the factory head unit.
I wish you well, but this thread isn’t where you’ll find what you’re looking for.
