Use a Pioneer/BMW changer
The BMW changer made by Pioneer will work with the Alpine 5 radio. I replaced my Alpine changer on my 95 with a used Pioneer changer about a year ago and no problems. Check the old archives here and at Roadfly for possible sources. Mine came from an 92 0r 94 BMW- not sure. I am almost positve that other year changers will work.
Good luck.

SO I just bought one from ebay .
Unfortunately I didnt know that the CDX-M30 doesnt work on some BMW radios !!!
After I found out how - My radio turned out to be a BMW ALPINE 5 - which aparently isnt compatible with UN-OEM radios !!!
NOW the Manual says the compatible CD-Changers are part numbers:
82 11 1 467 700 and 82 11 1 468 014
I found another one for sale with the exact second model number !!!!
But it came from a 93' 3-series ........... will this work ??
Advice is greatly appreciated.
thanks
