Gymkata, welcome. Please complete your profile so that everyone knows what you are talking about. There can be model, year, and regional differences in everyone's BMW, so please be kind and fill out this info.

As for your stereo, you can still get the mounts from the stealer for cheap. I just replaced mine two months ago. Also, check with your local car stereo places for the unit itself, as they may still have 1 or 2 on the shelf. I just bought a replacement from a local shop for $200.00 ---still in its original packaging.--You never know.
