I've just picked up my 1st E30 M3 which is :cool:

However it has a Alpine head unit thats Dayglow Green and Blue :roll:

I'd like to replace it with something that fits with the rest of the car, ideally be MP3 etc capable but in keeping with the Orange/Red Dash, Trip computer etc...

Any suggestions of any units that would look "right" and not too max power ?

TIA

Alpine CDR-120rm, Nakamichi CD400, or BMW/Blaupunkt CD43 with Dice or Grom USB adapter ???

I will replace my horrible pioneer with the CD43 and i have the Grom interface for USB/Ipod, that will look really at home in the B3 !

Cheers / Pierre

Alpine CDE-112Ri

I'm so happy with it. You can plug your ipod and keep it hidden, front USB, Aux, build quality is excellent and sound quality is great.

You might have sorted something by now, but if you're after something original then there's a company who can upgrade the internals and add an aux input to old head units. It's something I've been thinking about for my car for retro coolness!

They're Vintage Wireless on 01619 730438.
