    CM5907 and CM5905 BMW E30 Radios

    CM5907: Nice face plate, tape works, both left and right channels work, all backing and LCD lights work, and comes with a code. $250

    Volume knob has a small piece of plastic missing, but you can only tell if you pull it off. Bass and Treble sliders have a more resistance to movement, slide better when you push them in and slide, but otherwise work as intended.

    New LCD backing bulbs
    Changed burned out switch board backing lights
    Volume potentiometer Cleaned
    Serviced all the button switches
    New foam around the sliders replaced so you don't have light bleed through

    Backlights off:

    Backside of knob missing a bit of plastic, unnoticeable when installed, doesn't effect function.

    CM5905: Nice face plate, tape works, both left and right channels work, all backing and LCD lights work, and comes with a code. $250 - SOLD

    See pictures for details. Has a little nick on the LCD that doesn't seem to obstruct anything.

    IMO the biggest difference between the CM5905 and CM5907 is the color of the LCD, the former is more dark orange, the latter is more of a lighter orange.​
