I've been wondering what do you guys think about replacing the standard BMW Business CD head unit with a Professional CD which was always an option on earlier 1ers?

I've heard there are numerous advantages behind upgrading to BMW Professional (Alpine CD73), such as:
- improved sound quality (the standard Business model has worse sound than a stock radio from my girlfriend's 2004 Micra SX);
- built-in Bluetooth for hands-free, and USB support (on certain units);
- better, clearer display;
- Cd Changer support;
- more built-in functionality, etc.

Did anyone of you have done an upgrade like this before? Is it worth spending around £150-200 to upgrade the head unit? Bear in mind, I love me some quality tunes (my glovebox is full of CDs).

      Morning Mike Welcome to the Forum Sadly we do live in times where extra protection is needed The good old Stop Lock is an excellent visual deterent. Whether the investment in a ghost immobiliser as well is worth the money no one can say untill it is needed. Personally the Stop Lock would be my choice (I use one when we are away from home) Dave

      Morning Frank Welcome to the Forum Are you thinking of after market or BMW ? Also raises the question why ? If BMW then as long as it has the same functions and air bag connections I would think you could find one from other models. Try a search on www.realoem.com to see if there are any cross refference parts Dave
