[BMWCSRegistry] Period Passable Radio for 3.0CSi (w/new speakers)

[Art Wegweiser]

P.S.
I lost the center speaker long since but it does make a fine place to 
quickly hide my Valentine detector from the Virginia Staatz Polizei 
and the Ontario Mounties. If ever stopped, I have a $39.95 WallyMart 
piece of merde detector at hand as a sacrifice. (It still works fine 
Mike except I can't get it to shut up for those annoying roadside 
construction drones and it probably could use an update.)

Also under the right rear seat is occupied with the brain of a CSi 
and how does that position for speakers work anyway without chopping 
through the wood under the seats? I find the blue book repair volumes 
fit nicely under the left rear seat should they ever be needed on the 
road.
