you can plug a pioneer cdxm30 or cdxm6 right into it and have a changer

Gene, you might look into a C33 unit from the later E36s...looks sharp, little more modern looking.

doesn't plug right in to a e30 like the 89-90 e34 pioneer, besides that is one of the better sounding you can put in a e30 espcially if the e30 has the door tweeter system

Yeah, I imagine it is quite an upgrade from what is standard in most E30s. Have seen the E36's C33 in a buddy's E30 325i Touring, and it does look good though...I'm sure it does require some extra wiring though.
