mark3 is cd based, there is a new one, mk4, which is DVD based. The screen i would suggest get a widescreen 16:9 ratio. Also, you will need the radio tuner and also the nav harness. Will run you perhaps $700 or so just for this 2 items. DIY is in the home page, it's pretty easy, i have done the retrofit on a number of 3 series vehicles. Plus, OEM could be more, but it looks better on your dash compared to aftermarket ones, of ocurse, its just my opinion. Thanks!

Mark 1-3 are CD based, they have different numbers due to different production dates and of course, euro and US. But of course, MK3 is better than Mk1 and should fit most BMW cars. As far as the screen goes, they come in 2 sizes, the 4:3 and the 16:9. E46 has its own screen size, exclusviely for 3 series vehicles only. Older 5 series and X5 shares the same size of screen. Like the nav computers, they have different production dates.
