The Pioneers fits like magic in the speaker housing.

Midranges: Two on the back doors and two on the dashboard, all kept OEM.

Tweeters: BSW Tweeters (faaaaaaar better than the OEM)

The final result is excellent and you can hear each and every note whatever what kind of music you listen to.

Thanks. Maybe I will replace the tweeters and the little midranges with BSWs and get the midbasses elsewhere, like you did. I was worried about incompatibilities because the X5 has an unusual way of crossing the frequencies over. The midbass on the front door supposedly only gets bass signals, so it would seem a two, three or four-way speaker would be wasted, but a two-way is the lowest available from what I can find.

The Pioneers you mention are not available in the US. Crutchfield.com has what seem to be a similar model for $50/pair (!). They also supply adapters for the X, so installation should be fine. I emailed them for recommendations and what feedback they have gotten. I'll pass that info on.

The BSW site mentions glueing some part onto the replacement speaker. Is this an issue with the Pioneers?

Thanks for your advice.
