Hello all,
I'm desperately trying, to no avail so far, to see a nice clear photo of an ORIGINAL stereo/tape head unit for a Euro (preferably) 635CSi. I have a newish '85 myself and it has a crappy aftermarket unit. I've seen a lot of nice options on Ebay in Europe but would really like to duplicate the 80s and correct look.
Thanks for any help, and if you have one for sale, even better!

I've read that 'factory' varied depending on the market and/or the dealer, ranging amongst Alpine, Becker, Eurovox and Blaupunkt. Most people seem to consider the Becker Mexico as the preferred OE unit.

That's good stuff, thanks..Oof I've gotta sell more meat ;( There's a Becker "Grand Prix" 758(which seems to look like the photographs 761, not sure why it isn't called Becker Mexico or if that matters all that much) on Ebay by the guy who seems to be the authority on these Vintage Beckers..for $600 clams.

I have an original radio I will photograph for you, may take some time though...
I ended up getting a Becker Mexico 753 from the guys at Beckerautosound.com Without Bluetooth, for 400 bucks. Can't wait to get it in there!
