Will E92 Speakers fit E90 ?

Hello

i found to buy some speakers from a E92 M3. I want to know if they will fit E90 ?
The system is Individual Audio, and i want to buy the front door speakers and the rear speakers + tweeter.

Yes, Individual Audio speakers from an E92 will fit an E90.

Make sure that you get all the mids and tweeters including the center coaxial and the front door OEM crossovers and harness. They are 4ohms speakers so they are not going to sound quite as loud as the 2ohms OEM speakers currently -I suppose- in your E90.

If i get the front crossovers, can i connect aftermarket tweeters? Because i haven't find the individual tweeters anywhere. What about the plastics from the tweeters ? Will those fit from E92 to E90 ?

I'm asking this because only the front speakers have the same p/n code for E90/E92.
The others have different p/n codes ( backdoor, coaxial, rear +tweeters )

I replaced the front speakers with Individual Audio Speakers, and truelly it's a big change in sound & bass.

Btw, the Standard Speakers from the Standard Sound they are 4 OHMS , same as Individual Speakers. So its no difference in Ohms.

I have another problem though, I got the Individual Speakers from a M3 E92, and i see on bmwfans.info that the system is different from E90, like the coaxial speakers are in the rear shelf in E92 , and at the backdoor, they have speakers+tweeters. In E90 the things are opposite ( Coaxial in back doors, and speaker+tweeters in rear shelf).

Will E92 speakers fit for E90 configuration ?

If the OEM crossover or the 8ohms Individual front tweeters are not installed then yes, the mids alone are 4ohms.

Rear speakers will not fit without major modifications to your existing panels.

I don't understand, you mean if i install the Individual tweeters, with crossover, they will be 8ohms or what?

One more question: If i get the Individual Crossover, can i connect aftermarket tweeters? Will it be OK this way?

You should leave your present setup as is if it sounds good to you.

Try the E92 rear shelf Individual coaxials in your E90 rear shelf... I think that they will fit in the existing mounting holes.

Yes but i want to add tweeters too.
And about coaxials, i heard they not so good, thats why i wanted to put speakers+tweeters, which you say for sure won't fit no ?
