Hey there, I'm considering updating the speakers in my 2003 E85. Is there a go-to replacement? I've seen a company called Bavsound (California company) that promotes direct replacements for BMW Z4's and Mini Coopers.
With Bavsound you’ll always be paying a bit of a premium for the vehicle specific tooling which means the speakers have perfect fit and ease of installation but arguably means less of the your money being attributable to the speaker’s quality.
I went with the Hertz 165 3 way speakers - but you do have to work around the screw holes being different to the BMW OEM.
