bummer. guess this is one time US cars are better

actually now i think about it, Ethrty is a japanese import (german built though ) and that doesnt, but the 325i was a South African import and that did have the wiring to the nonexistant tweeters. that wasnt running BMW speakers though. that had some cheap ass no name brand ones that i still have and are gunna go into the Lada once i find a head unit probably
