    it's no E30 :/

    Need a new radio with MP3/Ipod/iphone control/bluetooth/USB and auxiliary inputs

    I think it's time for me to give up the stock radio/6cd changer. I don't even have that many Cds anymore. I want something similar that I have in my truck, however in my truck I have a navigation receiver with a 7" screen, where I can make/receive calls via bluetooth, I can connect my iphone via ipod receiver or by the auxiliary input so I can watch movies, watch youtube videos, listen to pandora, anything from itunes, justinTV and other radio apps that i have on my phone. For the car I want just a regular cd reciever with bluetooth, mp3 player, ipod connector and auxiliary input possibly in the front so I could easily connect the phone and listen to Pandora radio/radio apps.

    I don't want to spend more than $300, I'm not a media/audio junky, I just want a decent radio.

    Any idea what to get, anything that flows with the amber interior lights from the dash will be good, it's for a 98 m3

    I get the urge to replace the HU sometimes, until I start looking at them, after-market HU's are friggin obnoxious. The one I would probably select is the Eclipse CD5030 though. It's less gregarious than most, and has the features I want like time-delay and parametic equalizer along with goodies like bluetooth and USB connectivity.

    Well, I decided for this Sony mex bt3800U. It has everything I wanted/needed. Got it for $178 shipped( free mounting kit/bmw wire harness adapter)using a $20% off coupon at cruthfield. It also had a lot of great reviews on it. Mp3/wma player, ipod controls, usb, bluetooth which not only allows me to make/recieve calls but will also allow me to stream music from my iphone without connecting any cable whatsoever.
