I have a 520d e60 with the standard euro audio setup 
i am looking to add a few upgrades and was gonna start by adding some tweeters to the front pillars. i know the L7 ones are PnP is this because crossovers are in the car wiring? so if i buy an after market set do i need to add crossovers as well?
Any insight will be greatly recieved!
Cheers, Rich

Yes, a crossover is needed. The factory uses a 4.7uf capacitor for the tweeters.
