You might want to check with the dealer, or look for used parts, from a late model 6er. My 88 has exactly what you are describing - the rear speakers fill the entire housing, with no storage. Since these are stock parts they would match your interior without modification. And while BMW made speakers specifically to fit in these housings, other speakers can be made to fit. My car has Pioneer Elite 3-way 6x9 speakers in the openings.

: I had the interior out this past weekend and I noticed that my rear speaker covers were pulling away from their metal housings. I pulled the rubber off the metal and was amazed at the rust; no wonder I couldn't unscrew the whole cover at first. Anyway, after checking out the situation, I was thinking about modifying the metal housing so that a speaker unit could fit in the empty space - rather than just on the far side. Has anybody made a modification like this? I'm aware of the 645 webpage speaker mods but I think they're a little different.
