If the speaker position is the same on the door card, the worst case is that the connectors will be different. You can either source the correct ones for the B&W’s, or snip the stock connectors off and solder the bare wire to the speakers. You will need to maintain the same polarity (+/-).
The most likely issue is that they will have a different sonic signature (they will sound at least somewhat different than the rest of the car), and they may have significantly different efficiency (they will play at a different volume level than stock). You can to some degree compensate with the fader control, but the results will be unpredictable.
IMO you’re better off switching the stock speakers out and retaining them rather than using the B&W’s while the door cards are off, as long as the mounting layout is the same.
