Suits the interior...based on who's opinion? Yours, mine...who's to say my opinion is wrong? I've made my argument as to why mine suits the interior since outta modern but sits nicely centered on the dash, all while solving the issue of a failed OBC that's all but useless for anything more than a clock.

I mean, you can choose to be purposely obtuse. I think there are some rather obvious implications on what was meant by "suit the interior" of a car from the late 80s. Why don't you make your own thread for people who want a cool high tech headunit?2003 Z4 3.0 6-speed- Silver, 19's, daily driver

Go back a few pages and see the "non-spiritual" modern tech stereo that I installed in my GF's car that works great for daily use vs the those who wish to stay stuck in the 80's for strangers at occasional car shows. I walked around E30 Picnic, arguably the largest E30 meet in the world, and I didn't once think "OMG, look at their pristine tape deck" lol. Unless it's an trailer/garage queen and/or an M3, who cares!

You can make another thread, best Modern Feature head unit for an E30 and this would fit.
BTW not sure if you have seen prices lately but a $3000 E30 is a shit box.

I'm considering no head unit and just using a Bluetooth amplifier to reduce components and wiring. I listen from my phone most of the time and rarely listen to terrestrial radio. There's several of these type amps out there but this JBL GTR-104 might be good. Plus a radio block-off plate.- 240 watts RMS x 2 bridged
- wired remote unit has controls for Bluetooth streaming, hands-free calling, party mode (multiple simultaneous Bluetooth connections)
- preamp and speaker-level inputs
plus

The block off plate looks out of place on non centered stacks IMO, but there's nothing wrong with a simple setup as suggested. If I were to go that way I might keep a stock radio in place, and possibly connect it to the amp, depending on inputs of the model in question, just in case I happened upon an area of the country with no cell reception but plenty of AM/FM or wanted to hear some news.
