Speaker upgrade
Anyone know if these can be fitted to the G30? Are the same speaker fittings in the G30 as was in the F10?

It may fit with some minor modification.

Going from F10 with G30:
- front door tweeters are the same; - front door mids are the same shape and size, but in the G30 they mount conventionally i.e. the rear of the speaker mounts to the front of the internal door skin, whereas on F10 they mount forwards to the rear of the door card. So you may have a problem with the rear of the speaker fouling the window guide and if so you will need to make a custom spacer, perhaps only a few mm thick. Some foam tape under compression may be enough, with a few washers as spacers on the 3 fixing screws. You may also need to put some foam tape on the front face of the speaker frame to minimise losses out to the side. When you / your fitter removes the factory mids you will see what the issues are, and I think anyone familiar with the F10 and BMWs generally will be able to get a satisfactory solution. |

So I just completed the speaker upgrade to these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Focal-IFBM...item1c92b6395d Excellent result. Even without changing anything else the difference is remarkable. I had to make some custom spacers to move the speaker out a bit as it is much deeper than the original speakers. Total cost was €225. |
