Just like the title says, I am interested in upgrading the dull black speaker grills on my L7 system in my E92. Anyone know where I can buy them, or buy other aftermarket grills? Thanks.

Grills are exactly the same, one has a silver-painted rim and no foam in the grill and the other has a black-painted rim and foam in the grill.

i wish the EPS speakers had the foam as well
my left grill rattles when i raise the volume
if you look closely
there are 3 glue poins between the grill and the plastic grill on the inside
if i put my finger in the center of the ring
the vibration goes away
annoying

What is loose is the metal grill on the plastic rim; they are not glued together, they are held by bent metal tabs. You need to remove the grill assembly and then bend the metal support tabs a little bit more.

The foam may help hide any looseness as it is glued to the metal, but what holds the metal grill in place in the plastic rim are the tabs.

I know
I am already dreading taking the door panels off
My left is very obvious, and the right also does it, but less so
Although once on my 08 I did manage to reinsert the grill without taking off the door panel
But it took like 45 minutes of gentle coaxing
And I doubt I can take it off that way

Just a shot in the dark, could I take the grill off and remove the foam then reinstall to get the see-thru look? Not sure I want the silver trim. Or am I stuck buying new grills? Also, I could not locate them on Tischer's site.

That's what I did in the link above...



... except the trim was painted gloss black.
