i need to replace business radio in '97 749i with aftermarket. Any recommedations? Hanks!
Hi,
What are your requirements for an aftermarket setup? are you looking for something high quality, reliable and with the latest features included with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto ? Or are you looking for something cheap to just throw in ? Will you be open/looking to change to a high quality amplifier and much better performing speakers and also looking to run a modest but great performing subwoofer solution ?
Or will you wanting to retain the OEM speakers and amp ?
Depending on what you'd want, whats good/easy to install, your expectations on reliability and sound quality performance and your current anticipated budget, there's a couple of potential routes you can take.
Cheers, Dennis!
I'm looking to replace original with a modest system, I don't need extra loud, just a decent sound. I will need to replace some blown speakers and would like having
a CD player. Blue tooth would be nice but don't really need it. So decent FM reception and a CD player would work. Thanks.
Hi Chasbush,
Here's a thread from forum member Franco and his E38 - https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...al-for-the-E38
Perhaps use a modest 5 channel amplifier and upgrade the speakers. Disk usage in the car is declining given modern alternatives, so if a head unit with a disk mechanism is important to you, you'll perhaps have to do more work in the head unit area to fit a deeper depth head unit that has a disk mechanism.
Cheers, Dennis!
