What would you pay? Have a line on one as I need a new head unit.

I think they go for about $300.

I paid ~$320 for a "real" one that said "BMW Business CD" on it. The Land Rover ones that are identical, except that they don't say "BMW Business CD" on them, seem to go for $150-250.

Considering how much of a piece of shit, functionally, the CD43 is, you have to REALLY want a 100% stock look to use it. It really is a shitty head unit by any standard. Any $100 head unit in Best Buy will have better radio reception and no skipping issues on rough roads. Oh yeah, forget using the FM radio with the CD43 unless you pull the antenna amplification hardware out of an E36 and somehow get it to work in your car. And the CD43 skips like a bitch when you hit bumps. Like I said, you REALLY have to want that stock look lol.

Well i have one now and i am happy with it. Aftermarket ones with stupid looking displays is to what i don't want

Gave one those away last year. Just hate flashy and gimmicky headunits. Might go the way of a Headless System.
