I only ran that head unit for a while and switched back to the previous one: Blaupunkt SQR-88 Woodstock from 1989-90. I went old school cassette deck (with an AUX input on the front for the MP3 player).
I found the Continental lacking in mid and low ranges (even with the massive a/d/s/ audio system behind it).

Shame, that. I mostly listen to podcasts in the car, so, never really noticed too much of an issue. With that in mind, I love the way the Conti unit looks in an e28, and the ease of use of having the bluetooth auto-connect to my phone.

I get that, my unit was the very basic version with only AUX & USB inputs. My only concession to modernity was the AUX connection on the Woodstock.
I love this thread, so I thought I would post to it since it hasn't seen much action in a while. Bought this one last fall and I've been slowly refreshing it.

that looks amazing! If you don't mind my asking, where are those seat covers from?

I got these from a guy named Steve on eBay. His eBay user name on eBay is Zoomzooming or something very close. He sells these for several vintage BMWs. The fit is pretty spot on! Reasonably priced last time I purchased as well.
I finally got my interior back from the upholstery guy and I’m really happy with the work he did. I sourced the material from Relicate and chose nappa leather and a reproduction of the old M-Cross fabric. I was looking for something that looked like it came from the 80’s and gave a nod to the Motorsport heritage. Headliner, rear parcel shelf and front seat backs are done in alcantara.
