I know right… First seen on the G06 X6, now the LCI X7, and 7-Series so if we go by the past it will eventually trickle down to all the models.

Edit: I had the factory CD radio in my ordered ‘99 Z3, ordered August 1998. I had to pay for it, which I seem to recall was around $300-350. My ordered ‘01 330Ci had one as well, but I believe it was standard by then? FYI, Hyundai/Kia has lured away a several of BMW designers over the years. Last edited by SCA; 04-21-2022 at 09:36 PM. |

Genesis really is moving in the right design direction. BMW design is lost IMO. The trying to break new design ground never works well for BMW.

I had CD players in cars for years. And think I really only listened to one CD over and over again--out of inertia at changing it, or carrying them around, or whatever.

lol I remember the CD43; such a hot commodity! I never ended up getting one, though I did put in an aftermarket CD changer.
I’ve had the same Smiths compilation CD that I burned in 2003 in the CD player in the Porsche basically since I got the car. I listen to it occasionally. |

I paid for the CD player in my E46 also. My E39 didn't have NAV and I can't remember if it still had a cassette deck under the panel or if that was a CD slot. The E39 and Boxster had trunk/frunk mounted CD changers. I think I loaded those up once each and never changed the discs. I added XM to the E39 (I think using the same XM input device that worked in the E46, possibly with a different box -- can't remember). I also added the BMW Bluetooth module to the E39, but that was for phone calls only. I added a 3rd party Bluetooth adapter to the Boxster that had BT Audio and dropped XM and went podcast-only at that point.
I really haven't missed not having other inputs in the Teslas. Between BT audio for my podcast player and the streaming options Tesla has built-in, I've been good.
