    ​ Yes, once the original lip is cut, there is no return back... These are not yet for sale, waiting for some feedback from my clients first, maybe something needs to be changed/improved πŸ™‚

    With SQR 46 DAB it does not look as good as with BMW original head units IMO...

    he is @bmwradios on instagram. also has an eBay store. I don't think they're live yet.
    I've been designing a bracket as well, but honestly chopping up an NLA HVAC panel is a 1 time thing. Most replacements on eBay have the trim piece under the HVAC switch broken. TimberShift on eBay sells a nice repair piece for that though.

    You did a fantastic job! I’d love to find someone who has modified the factory head unit to allow for USB in. I’ve seen a couple guys who have added pre-outs, but I don’t really like streaming with Bluetooth as the sound quality isn’t great.

Any idea where to buy part 6511370841​?

    Part is NLA and it is just a small shelf, it won't help with installing the radio flush. Only way is to find it used if you want that part. If you want it flush, you will need to cut the bezel around the radio on the HVAC panel and custom installed the mounting part of the Bremen.

    That looks awesome. Do you have any pics or know where a guide is for cutting the HVAC?

    Wow, that looks awesome! I've gotten used to mine sticking out a bit, but you're definitely making me consider re-mounting it flush. Nice work!

    Yep I did the l bracket to reach the zinc plated part. I mentioned it in an earlier post. I think the part number is 6511370841 but looks like it’s not produced anymore. Double check it’s not still in the car though I was lucky mine was still there.

    OK TFI, help me out. I assume the bracket you made is the L-shaped attachment and the zinc plated "2-prong" deal is from the car itself? Looks like material I can source at Lowes, care to be a bit more specific? I have this radio in my 91' 318iS and it is fantastic in my opinion and suits the car perfect.
