You can google my part numbers, but the prices are kind of steep.

If I was going with an aftermaket route, I would go with Focal over Bavsound, although I have no experience with them, but usually Focal products are top notch. Bimmertech midranges are another choice, they are much better than Bavsound, I compared them directly, but they are not as good as B&W. Not sure about their subs.
Agree on the Focals. I ended up changing to Focals as well on my old '19 X3M40i (now sold). They were awesome

I concur. If it's hard earned money, don't waste it on the Bav sh*tt
