    Okay here goes...

    I've had this car for a few months (2001 318i) and ever since I've had no radio.

    The original BMW Business CD was there, but when I took it out, it was without the harness and just loose wires (I got this car very cheap, but in mint condition minus the radio)...

    All speakers for sale work, and am sure they are connected to built in amp (as I have seen the connection in the dash)...

    However, part of my upgrades include my own amp and subwoofers, so I will not need the built in amp.

    ---- THE QUESTION....

    I want to wire an aftermarket stereo (a cheap sony xplod) however nothing that I have tried has gone right, and I'm hoping for some advice so I don't have to get this done in a shop.

    I have isolated the wires and so far know my ground is a thick brown wire, and power is possibly a red/green striped wire and/or purple/white striped wire.

    Can someone shed some light on whats going wrong?

    The xplod has the basic yellow, red and black wires, that are easy to wire in your average car, but this BMW has been seriously scratching my head. My fuses are fine, all checked (including the xplod's)....

    But no matter how I connect the wires (I'm doing it properly, with the plastic caps) the stereo just won't go. I have tried the same method with other car stereos and it just doesn't power them. What am I doing wrong?

    I am quite a noob to BMW, but I love them so please bare with my noobnis. I'm tired of having no music.

    Any help, links would be highly appreciated, if TL:DR I appreciate also ;)

    Many thanks.

    Its not that big problem. You car facing power supply issues. Just check it and enjoy good music tracks :)

    Hi all,

    My 1994 320i has 2 broken front fog lights - stones gone right through them both, and with WOF coming up soon need to be working, can anyone suggest a good place to get some replacements? Are there reasonably priced ones, like BOSCH peimar lighting that also have the plastic covers available?

    If I cant get them cheap in time, I may take them out - so, how can I identify the correct bumper cap to put in their place, and who might sell these?

    Many thanks.

    You can get some cheap lights if you try to search ebay site
