X5SND, this is lovely, I wish you could make such a bezel for me too.

We have our E53 for about three weeks now, and it came with this head unit.

It has everything I wanted, but missing some connectors at the back so I can't connect my iPhone as a music source. Not a big issue.

The worst problem is that with the unit installed in its default position, it's impossible to see what the screen shows for the biggest part of the day. Living in sunny Greece doesn't help things either.

Nice installation Sir, congrats!
