I really want to change front/rear speakers because of poor sound.

My car is 520D (F10) and I want to know possibility of installation without any modification.

My wish list)
Front ; Focal 100krs
Rear ; Focal 100krs
A-Pillar for tweeter Speaker ; Need to know BMW P/N

You will not find a drop-in replacement speaker that is not designed specifically for the F10. I would not replace the speakers with something that would simply fit, and not be designed to work with the existing audio components. These factory systems are designed around the specific response, impedance, etc. of each individual transducer. If you replace them with an off-the-shelf product like the Focal units you mentioned, it could very well sound much worse....and potentially damage the amplifiers if they are not impedance matched.
