i want to replace the horrid aftermarket head unit in my 318is, i would llike to go back to the OEM look but want to keep CD playing abilities and i thought the way to do that might be to use an E36 unit.

The one i'm thinking of is the E36 Business CD player, has anyone else done this and does the unit sit flush in the dash? if anyone has photos of this head unit in an e30 dash i would be most grateful, along with any advice for the fitting.

Thanks
