Interesting. Are you going to replace it with an identical unit or aftermarket?

My mods are new OEM DVD unit for rear entertainment system. Module burnt out and monitors play in b&w.

Usually only use spacers for winter setup but kept the 30mm on rear with summers and love the look. Ordered 15mm for fronts.

Roundels are all black so gonna match with shadowline trim pieces in semi-gloss black. May also have the exhaust tips coated semi-gloss black.
yeah his sound system is a bit more than what i was looking for. i just want a subtle upgrade.

Yeah - LOVE the 215s though... just wondering if OEM will give me better ride... still 20s though.

Regarding backup camera type - not too sure - experimenting with one off ebay. bought the wireless kit from some seller, they sent me wired, then refunded me.. so got a FREE kit. with backup lines etc supposedly. been sitting for a year on it.

need new front brakes and rotors - suggestions welcome - OEM is fine, where can i get good deal?

Oh - also have TV setup that i haven't used and got all the bells and whistles for to use my ipod with. and got the right module for my invisions to be able to set it up to accept AV input from the module and not just the headrests.

Basically - audio video upgrade this spring/summer...

let the games begin!!

Would like to grab a set of spacers, sport springs, and a custom exhaust while I'm at it...
Let me know I got a promo running still.

I plan on having a second diagnosis by an A/V shop, if they cannot somehow salvage or replace the module itself, then i may replace with OEM (new or used).

Yep! Already went through a 4 foot river, I don't think I could do that in the X5.
