Upgrading to CD43 Deck?

[Scooter]

I think Dwayne has done this, has anyone else? Sources to get them? They seem to be hard to find. Also does anyone know for sure if the ones listed on ebay with the 'M' badge are authentic? I read somewhere that they are not. Plus I don't like the 'M' badge, but I guess I could also remove it...

I need to keep the car OEM to have my collector plates on it, so I'm looking to keep it that way. If I'm going to spend somewhere around $200 on a CD player I want to make sure I'm getting the right one.

Real CD43:



Possibly fake?




Dwayne, do you have any photos of yours installed?

The previous owner also hacked the crap out of my harness, so I've bought a new harness to re-splice in...I hope it's easy to match up the correct wires

mine is the one with the m sticker and its acually the range rover model and i knew that when i bought it . its doesnt bother me at all but i understand where u are coming from wanting the real goods . the real ones range between 250 to 300 . keep watch in bimmer forums i have seen a few pop up . the cd43 is a very nice unit . here is a pic of mine installed . i dont even notice the m sticker and the bmw businees or the range rover model are exactly the same

I have a new in box CD43, labelled "BMW Business CD" on the front with security code.

I bought it a few years back to install in my B10, but decided against it. It turns out its not PnP in my B10 as I have the separate head unit and tuner unit.

I could let it go for $240, if you are interested.

YES PLEASE!!!!! Are you available to meet up this weekend sometime?

I heard the earlier E34's have different wiring, so lots of these decks aren't PnP like they are with other cars
