The Tweeter speaker wires are usually connected down in the footwell near the kick panel speakers, I connected mine down their and used after market tweeters with the inline filters already connected.

They are often not connected simply because people have run their own speaker wires down there and done away with the standard wiring, so just pick them up in the footwell.

Loving the air filter touch :clap:
Thanks mate! I'll get the speakers out and have a proper look next time I'm in the garage.

Any new updates on your beast or is it a case of "if it's not broke don't fix it? 😜
:D :D Gearbox input shaft bearing still rattles when cold and the E90 servo set up isn't as good as the standard 325i so I am going back to E30 servo with an E32 master cylinder :D

Still got to get my San Marino Blue alloys on, just been so busy at work and getting things done around the new home I haven't had time to get stuck in to it :)

Why is the E90 servo no good? Thought they were a good upgrade and the Clio servo too?

Looking forward to seeing your alloys on mate!

I know what you mean about being busy 😂 feels like I'm always working these days!

Thanks again for the help with the tweeter wiring! It's all fitted and sounding good mate 👍🏼

Another little update which is a small but satisfying one..

I finally ordered some new gas struts for the boot so now I don't need to hold it open with my shoulder anymore 😂

Just waiting for the salt to vanish from the roads to start driving her again as I'm starting to have withdrawals now ☹️

Update

Finally got around to replacing that very old and tired looking expansion bottle..

Much better 😁👌🏼

Also took a nice little drive down to Munich legends to check out their stock...what an amazing collection they have there!
