In-Dash CD Player for e30

[seth112]

I'm about to take out the factory radio/tape deck and have Best buy install a CD/MP3 receiver for me. I haven't picked a unit yet.. what do you guys like as far as looks and sounds??? I hesitate to pull the factory deck out because I'm afraid of ruining the look but does anyone know of any that would look good in my car?/ What do you guys use??

Thanks :)

Alpine and Nakamichi are IMO the best looking decks in a Bimmer. The Nakamichi looks oem even, but does not give you Mp3 playback. They do feature AUX-ins though, so you could link your iPod.

As a cheaper alternative to Alpine or Nak, the Kenwood KDC-MPV5025 has selectable illumination that can be changed to match the BMW illumination almost perfectly. It also has Mp3 playback...
