i was wondering how it would sound, i know the 96 and up e36 tape decks really suck for sound quality, even with the harmon amp/speakers (guess you can't polish a turd, meaning the head unit) and the grand master of shitty sound systems the e39, that thing reeks, plus it's a odd size and part of the obc, id walk away from a car that sounds like that at the showroom. i know the amp and speakers are pretty decent and on 95 and older cars the pioneer head unit blows the alpine away for sound imho
