BMW 318ti Rear Speaker Repair & Disassembly

The 318ti has super weird rear speakers that are housed in even weirder mounts. There are some solid resources for pulling these out and replacing them but nobody really talks about disassembling the mount without breaking them or repairing them, which I highly recommend!
There are a few versions of the 318ti sound system -- the 10 speaker version is called the "HiFi" version. If you've got the HiFi version you absolutely have an amp in the trunk on the lefthand side behind the carpet (behind the CD changer if you've got one). There is an optional subwoofer, it doesn't seem like many people have it at all.

Great video thanks. I did it without applying heat.. just a screwdriver and loads of patience and dogged determination. My 316i Compact (UK market) looks identical to your 318ti. The rear shelf speakers are exactly the same except mine doesn't have tweeters so only one clip to dislodge, which was the hardest part.

Keep the TI's videos coming!

Hey I just removed mine… the repaired speakers actually sounded good? Debating on the adapters or the repair…

[@stoneface98]

How did they sound?

[@wehavegirlfriends]

They sound very good, no rattle or anything. Replacing (upgrading) them possibly would have had better sound but there is a stock amp deep in the trunk that I didn't want to have to worry about changing etc
