E30 Zone

My car came with an Alpine head unit that is OK but lacks Bluetooth and rocks a very bright blue display and lights. Not great.

So I’ve been searching (like you all have) for a decent stereo that does lots of things I need but with a more period correct look and isn’t like having a disco in the car.

I found this and I like it. Has pre-outs, decent power, Bluetooth and fits the interior look better. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this? And no, I don’t want to spend £400 on a Bremen at the moment, and don’t particularly like the look of it either.

So, any advice or input would be great;)

No idea of performance but it looks pretty good.

Same as me, but for less than £100 I thought I'd just go for it, It arrives on Wednesday so I'll update once it's fitted

Is this any good? I was looking at the Bremen but it’s £400! This looks like a cheap alternative. Does it do Bluetooth Audio?
Cheers

I have this, it looks great, does bluetooth.

I fancy a Bremen, but I hadn't seen these before and tbh seems good for £100. Any pics of one fitted in an E30?

Just wondering how you got on with this mate ?

I tried one. You could hear always bluetooth chip electronic noise. No matter in FM, AM or BT, And it was the BT chip because the chirping you could hear through speakers would change its pattern when pairing a phone. Good looks, but I think it's unfortunately cheaply made.

I recently fitted the 'Valencia' to my E34. For the money pretty happy with it. Same as this but it's the DAB version, the widscreen antenna I bought it's really strong enough so end up listening to the FM most of the time to be honest. Bluetooth seems good. Haven't used the inbuilt microphone when driving but honestly I don't anticipate much from it. But it doesn't look out of place and brings some nice modern features.
