2003 E46 316ti Compact - new system install
This is my first post so hope its in the right place???
Bought a 2003 E46 Compact about a month ago and Im very happy with it but was having problems with the Business CD player it kept going off and on intermitently and then I went on hoiliday for a week parked it up and when I came back to it it never turned on again.
I liked the OEM look of the Business headunit but they hold there value well secondhand and I had already had one F!"££ up on me so didnt really want to buy a secondhand replacement so started looking for an alternative that wouldnt look too out of place.
I decided on the NAKAMICHI CD300 and decided to go with the Genuine BMW Facia.
And I did a bit of glueing and cutting to the original slot behind the facia to convert it to take a single din unit centrally and then fitted it all but it looked crap.
So I decided to do a bit of modification to the facia and fit the headunit behind it rather than into it and came up with this!
It took a bit off work but I am now quite happy with it.
Going to maybe start on the speakers soon!!!!
