Great little adaptors. OEM BMW speakers have three offest tabs which won't work with aftermarket speakers. These adaptors are a perfect interface between aftermarket speakers and the OEM door panels.

MUST HAVE for e46 owners |

A must for all e46 BMW owners - these brackets worked like a champ in front doors
allowing a 6.5 inch speaker with low profile teater to fit with only minor mods of
aftermarket screws and additional foam spacers, to kill rattles. These even allowed me
to install 6.5 inch, low profiles in back deck, with same mods, however, I had to use the
factory grills -- the BMW grills wouldn't allow enough clearance for the tweeter cones --
note that asthetics of back deck application described will not satisfy those who want to
keep factory appearance.

It works, but not out of the box |

You can make this work, but it's not a trivial bolt in.
-Pay attention to the picture. It may look like the mounting holes are evenly spaced but they're not; there is a definite orientation. This also affects wiring.
-Note the ridges on the mounting holes; they really must go toward the speakers, which means for mine (Polk DB 521's), the Scosche frame gets bent, unless you file down three of them that are unused. If your speakers can mount on the front and stick through without interference, this might not be needed. Mine could not.
-The supplied 4 mm screws are 3-4 mm too long for the mounting holes (I have a 2003 325xi); you could use washers to space, I used shorter screws.
-Speaker mounting screws supplied were flimsy sheet metal; also replaced these.
-No info on which BMW wire is + or -; found on another site. (Left +: Blue w/ white stripe, Right+, Blue w/ red stripe)
-Would have been good if they supplied terminals to plug into the existing connector; again made some. Alternative is to solder your speakers in directly (bad idea for future maintenance) or cobble up another connector (get insulated pairs)
Overall the need is for proper parts and an instruction sheet. A Scosche instruction sheet would have saved me a lot of time. Generic one from Crutchfield isn't too useful.
Two other hints: if your car has the foam gasket around the speaker, reuse it. Also, be smart to have a few of the door male plastic clips; several of mine were pre-broken.
