I had the same problem with the center channel in my 2016 M3. I took a dremel to the back of the speaker to make just enough room for the clip to slip by. I also had a problem with the front screw not having enough grab to hold in so I used the dremel to cut about 3 mm off the height of the front mount. (And yes I have removed the magnet rubber bumper - still didn't fit)
Incidentally, when I went to remove the speaker I couldn't get the BAVSOUND harness to disconnect from the factory harness and it broke coming out so I ended up soldering the BAV speaker to the factory wires - I was shocked to find out the BAVSOUND wires aren't copper, not even copper coated! |

I also found this thread searching for "bavsound". This excellent review was one of the things that convinced me to go with Bavsound. Tried just the mids/tweets/underseats at first. Then added the amp. I was extremely disappointed. Everyone is different so no disrespect, but I just didn't find it to be much of an improvement. Dunno, maybe my expectations were too high.
For anyone else reading this and considering doing this, this thread (https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1561742) says that the Euro Audio Design speakers are the same speakers as Bavsound, but they are cheaper. The folks on that thread also take a pretty dim view of the speakers: Quote:

Did the upgrade. BAV speakers and subs.. this is how the system should have been delivered from BMW. Much higher highs and you can feel the bass. You have to re adjust your eq settings for best sound.
It's not earth quaking like my 89 240 SX with 12 in bazooka but it's strong enough for a 50 year old guy who loves old school rap and appreciates Jazz and other live sources. I would encourage all those thinking about it, use the newer youtube vids ( i installed 1/15/2022..) Great hints (break off that middle left tab on the center channel grill) and detail enough instruction to get you through the install. I also didnt take the door panels completely off. Took about 4.5 hours much of it was drinking beer taking breaks (for the ol back) and trying to go about prying the doors off without being afraid of breaking something but you have to just pry the panels off and get on with it. Reconstruction went fine. Worth the money.. Not sure I would need to do the amp... but that has to be even more amazing.. Also, buy the $60 tool kit, you'll only use 3 or 4 pieces in the kit but the little ratchet with the spin top was a time saver.. Last edited by theoluv; 01-17-2022 at 07:57 AM.. Reason: addition |
