How the hell do you remove the old tweeters, did a pair years ago and it seemed easy these ones seem to be welded in place, I also can't remember if the grills can be removed, any help appreciated. Ta.

I had to seriously destroy everything behind the grill and trash the old drivers, used a dremmel and knife - it was hell, but got them out eventually.

Never tried to remove grills for fear of trashing them too.

No other advice other than controlled rage and violence!!!

Thanks Paul, the previous just popped out with a few twists of a pair of five holes.

A job I've only done once, and the old tweeters came out without much resistance. Perhaps BMW used more than one supplier, and that makes the difference.
