Was it a case of you just swapping the four HK door card speakers and the front triangle tweeters and leaving everything else as the factory HK set up? Where do you think the sound has deteriorated? Thanks |

I didn't have much time with the HK speakers as I swapped these out within 2 weeks of getting my car. However a buddy of mine recently picked up a M5 and has HK speakers. Now that I got a better chance to kind of compare. I want to say that these replacements speakers might sound a little better. |

Interesting and thanks for sharing. I only had the base four speaker no amp system so my baseline was very low. I just have to eq the harsh highs and mids out and it'll be spot on |

Just installed these replica bowers and Wilkins speaker with my F30 Harman 688 amp.
It’s a lot better than ori HK speaker I must say. I tested with the flac files of McLaren test tracks, the replica BW speakers sound more natural and able to precisely separate musical instrument. Unlike the HK speakers, the more instrument playing in the song, the more noisy it makes. I hate replica or fake product but for this BW speakers even tho I know it’s fake but I will still keep this installation. HK seems garbage for me now. |

Hey guys silly question. Did all of you that have retrofitted this had the HK sound system? In Europe the factory sound for G30 is below HK quality (not even front door tweeters). I'm assuming for it to be upgraded I would need to add extra wiring.

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!

Hi guys. I can't figure out how to remove the door panel speaker cover on the front doors. I remove a couple of screws, I push the tabs forwards to release the pressure and then I push gently the cover but it seems really stuck in there. Has anyone had to drill on the other "holes" that surround the trim from inside the door panel plastic?
Thanks in advance. |

Warning!
I bought a few kits to get the full speakers,covers and amplifier upgrade from this seller (China Car Audio Store) on Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001859424250.html The first speaker started going silent after around 8 months. I was promised a warranty replacement that never arrived. The seller gave me a number of excuses during the following 6 months when even more of the speakers went bad. I ended up contacting BMW who confirmed they were bad quality fakes and that they would take action against the seller. |

Hello everybody. I have also ordered bowers and wilkins 11piece cover set from the same shop you mentioned china car audio store. The quality exceeded my expectations. The covers are made from metal, they are solid and also has ambient light properly installed. As I am having a private shop installing them together with aftermarket audio system next week, I will give a feedback.
I would like to create a new thread or make a post, but I am still now allowed due being a new member. I will be able to show entire installation process which should be really helpful for anyone who wants the same thing. |

Currently I have S676 Hi-fi audio system and original 11 color ambient lighting. Principal motivation is not to increase power and sound quality, rather to upgrade interior with some LED lighting -I simply like how they look. It seems that those are able to mach ambient lighting color well. Can someone who instaled them help me: 1. Original ambient lighting gradually powers up and fades when being powered on or shut off. Can those covers also power gradually or are just simple on/off for them)? 2. Brightness intensity - can they match change in original ambient lighting brightness (i.e. if i tone down car ambient lighting would they also tone down automatically, or have just single brightness setting) ? 3. When the car shuts off - do they shut off immediately or they remain on for some time? I want them to work propely (so that the mod doesn't look cheap / improvised) but I'm fully aware that I cannot expect miracles on a budget. Please help me to decide |
