What radio for my E30?

[Bradd D]

Right now I'm looking at a VDO or a Blaupunkt Business CD for my 1990 E30 vert. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

I just go aftermarket when I change radios. I never put back in a bmw radio

I think the BMW infrared unit is the best period looking unit.

If you're sticking with OE, this unit is the best fit and is a true 4 channel unit. Later units don't fit exactly right as BMW made a small change to the way they mount. Newer ones will stick out a bit. I'd go aftermarket to get the modern features. In general I like the look of some of the Kenwood units. Check out the ones with variable color dot matrix displays. There's a few other ones that have been discussed on this board over the last year or so.

I put a kenwood kdc-bt368u unit in my car and I love it. It's black so it matches the dash, sounds good enough and has bluetooth streaming capabilities which is really handy.

Jensen Heavy Duty radios look nearly oem.

Continental is the way to go.

I installed a Kenwood KDC-X502 in mine. I looks really nice and you can match the colors to do the rest of the interior.
