Getting more work done on sound deadening the front doors. Almost done with that and have the woofers installed in the OE housings. Waiting on some tweeter capacitors and the door handle carrier to put everything back together so I can hear this thing.

Just a thought I slept on last night and would value your feedback on…Please.

Hah, now worries.
I did give that a thought. If you notice in that pic I picked up a couple of spare dash mid grills from the yard. At the end of the day these mids (others might cooperate more) are very wide all the way around the back side. They don't have a basket that tapers in. Without raising the speaker 1/2"+ I could not clear the plastic "box" that BMW built for the mids. You can see the plastic in the pics. Other mids might work, these won't without cutting that plastic in there.
Edit: Here's a better shot of the plastic enclosure that's in there.
