can someone recommend a cd player that is not too expensive ($75-$100). Something that can play mp3's is a plus, also something that blends with the OEM lights. My car is a 1994 325 and I would like to do the install myself. Thanks a lot.

Is that all? Matching lights, MP3, and frigging cheap?

Buy a Sony GT200 from Crutchfield. Buttons match. Display is white characters on a bluish background. PLAYS MP3S...But wait, that's a whole $129...

Why not just wait and save another hundred and get a good quality deck off ebay. The cheap ones always skip and look/sound like crap.
