G38 which is a G30 but long wheelbase is assembled in China too.

The rear window shelf and rear doors took me 4 hours. The front doors took me 3 hours. It's definitely back breaking!
I understand, but to me there's a big difference with BMW testing a product for their car and warrantying it vs a seller on AliExpress who you may have a hard time reaching 2 years from now.

So are the LEDs actually in the speakers or in the covers? Would be great if they are in the covers and you can add the Covers (LEDs) to match the ambient lighting without changing the actuals speakers.

Thanks for the great post.
That might be an issue down the road. I'm keeping all the oem parts until I sell the car. If I ever need to revert back to stock, I can easily do so.

The LED lighting is on the covers, however the original speakers are black vs B&W speakers are white/silver which reflects the light. The speakers give off a nice effect with the ambient lights. The oem grills/covers on the doors have tabs that need to be grinding off to take them off. I'm sure you can put them back if you use screws instead.

If the LED lights fail I would just disconnect them and keep those covers on as they look really nice still.
