INTRODUCTION
Most of the
BMW cars made before year 2000 came with cassette players units
in-dash, just few customers ordered expensive premium audio
systems with CD player...now you
have a great chance to win this beautiful unit!
Keep in mind that this is a high-value item — it won't loose the
price, and most probably will become more and more expensive.
It
is not on production anymore nor it ever will be again.
This is
investment!
Now read short lesson how to buy
authentic player and not just a player that
fits your beloved BMW.

Picture above shows three
typical CD players what you may find on eBay: the first from the
right is a player made for Rover cars and its Rover authentic -
with Rover logo. The other too are the same Rover CD players,
but either with somehow removed rover logo or with a cheap BMW
M3 sticker.
These players do fit BMW cars
great, but they are not authentic.
BUYING
FAKE IS NOT INVESTMENT !
NOR JOY TO EYES AND EARS !
Authentic CD players for BMW
will always have magic words on the faceplate: BMW
Business CD , BMW Business CD RDS or
BMW Professional CD, just like pictures below:

So its smarter to pay few
dollars extra but getting Authentic equipment!
