4ohm isn't a big deal as long as you have an amp that can power them. The JL Audio 600/6 v2 at 75 watts a channel at 4ohm has more than enough power.

You'll need to run some quality, jacketed speaker wire to the center and put one the end of it into the harness and put the other end on the teal two pin plug in. You'll need a special crimper & pin kit.

The pins you need to add to the OEM harness are considerably bigger than the ones I listed above. I'm not sure what size they are.
Having retrofitted the full Individual Audio setup into my 335i I would strongly disagree that the JL is giving those speakers enough power. As for using the Kenwoods for subs, search for a set of the Individual Audio subs and get some power on them, night and day difference.
