Well I worked the other way around ... I bought my unit with a blue faceplate. And now I have a red one on order. It is hard to compensate for differences in taste as far as this is concerned but the blue faceplace imho looks out of place in a BMW. Perhaps a little because it is more cyanisch then blue. It would be a different thing if the blue was really the kind of blue you see in say the latest models VW ... You know the electric dark blue (whatever ya call it). That would indeed look better, but the blue faceplate as it is now is not blue enough to achieve that effect imho. Btw, where did you put the empeg in your BMW ? Still have to do my install and am wondering if removing the factory headunit has had any adverse effects/results for you either with the onboard computer (clock ?) or the BMW service/dealer ?

Cheers,
Hans
