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

Mike,
 
How about this one: http://www.classicdriver.com/uk/magazine/3300.asp?id=12924 http://www.mybecker.com/beckerCms/www_root/ar03/templates/Ar03ProductMain.jsp?language=De <http://www.mybecker.com/beckerCms/www_root/ar03/templates/Ar03ProductMain.jsp?language=De&organisation=001&navSeq=219&articleNo> &organisation=001&navSeq=219&articleNo=
Unfortunately it's not sold in the US, but if you can manage without the navigation system the rest of the features should work OK here as well.

Hi Everybody,

 

My '72 3.0 CSi project needs a new radio since the one installed in it is not of the period and is pretty crummy.  And, the existing speakers on the parcel shelf are not of this Earth!

 

I'm looking around at reclaimed Blaupunkt and Becker radios at places like http://www.oldautoradio.com <http://www.oldautoradio.com/>  .

 

I'm sort of partial to Becker because I seem to remember that they were considered higher quality than Blaupunkt at the time and a car as expensive as an E9 ought not to have a "cheap" radio installed.

 

Also, I'm curious as to others' opinions about speaker styles and placements for an E9.  It seems that 6x9 ovals on the back shelf are popular, but I'm open to all thoughtful suggestions.

 

Would any of you please offer period-appearing E9 audio advice?

 

Cheers,

 

Mike
