Mine are somewhat similar but are in fact 61/2" MB Quart subs
with 5 1/4" mids in the footwells and MB Tweeters in the factory tweeter pods

Audioscape make specific ones to fit the E30 @ around £150ish the pr
Audiosport sell them on Ebay for around £75 the pr

Just check speaker mounting depth before ordering#

i got the audiosport ones in mine, worth the money, fit well and look good. can fit up to 6.5inch in them, you will have to cut your door card for any kind of decent sound tho.

make up an adaptor to bring the speakers slightly out from the hole (they arn't 6.5" all the way back to the magnet). if you cant be arsed like me, motorworld have them in various sizes.



by the way, i have a set of those audiosport speaker pods for sale if anyone wants em.
