However, I need to go to separates and away from this crappy coaxial setup in the front doors, so new speakers are a requirement in the front. Another reason is to sidestep all the mounting troubles. I would love to use rainbows or morels but I am concerned that the volume level would be meh and that there may be mounting issues in the front doors. I understand that I should stop being a cheap ass and just add an amp as well and deal with the mounting issues for aftermarket speakers. For the record I have en e92 m3 with the 6 speaker stereo. (probably the worst sounding car stereo in recent memory.) You all seem to know your stuff so go easy with your responses. Thanks.

I don't think you will get stoned, but there are some strong opinions here, some based on experience and repeating the same answers from that experience over and over.
If you have an E92 M3, then you should have at least what I have in my '11 E92 M3, which is the HiFi system. This would include seperate components in the doors, with a tweeter in the sail panel (the little triangular piece at the top front of the door) and a 4" mid in the front of the door, two 8" (mid bass) woofers, in the floor under each front seat, and two 4" mids over each of the side armrests in the backseats.
The BSW solution has been favorably reviewed in Roundel, but BSW is a large purchaser of advertising in the mag, so you might want to bear that in mind.
The BSW solution has been done by some members, and they seemed pretty happy with the results, search out their results, so I expect it is an improvement. When someone from BSW tried describe what it is they are selling equipment wise, BSW was a litle sketchy when challenged for details.
I would be curious to see what Technic and VP (and 808MGUY) would consider the optimum speaker install for our HiFi system utilizing the MS-8. But I have bluetooth, and there is currently a glitch in the MS-8 software that causes an echo on the receiving end when using a bluetooth connected phone from your car, so they need to fix that before I would consider it.
