Estoril Blue Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Avus blue is a really nice M5 color. And I guess they used it on the '95 M5, probably 'cause they just needed a handy blue, and it was available. :^) Actually, I like Avus. But I don't think it is the special color my E30 needs.

Makes sense, eh? <snip> ...I know I typed a "6", as in "E36 M3", but for some reason a "0" came out. Yeah, that's it. Sadly, I've discovered that what I've thought (for 8 years) was a non-metallic color is, in reality, a metallic color. So I'll have to pick a different color - you know, similar, but not Estoril or metallic. Like the color of my old Fiat 124 Sport Coupe, maybe? Hmmz...

BMW went to the T type ICV in 88 or 89, mine is an 87 with the L type is there any reason to change mine over to the T type, ie; better design. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I know it won't be an elegant two-way full-control setup like on the newer cars, but is there any way to just pump the music into the current system without replacing the head unit? After years of fighting the CD changer it just seems like a better option.
