You will need the Alpine CHA-S643 which sits directly into the space of the old E39 changer. Wiring is also the same. So it’s essentially plug and play. It is a 6 disc changer and you can put in more than 1000 songs in total.  But this player on it's own will not show the mp3 tag. It will still play the mp3 songs but will be listed as Track 1,2 etc.. until Track 99 upon which it will revert back to Track 1, 2 etc... again. But you can still retain the controls using the steering wheel. Alternatively you can go for the Ipod route using either a Dice or a Intravee 2 unit. Of course you have to have an Ipod as well. More complicated as compared to installing the Alpine changer but can store even more songs and supports the mp3 tags. Each has it’s merits. It depends on what you want and what you have now. These would be the 2 easier options if you want to maintain the look of the E39 and not mess with the internals. I have the changer and the Intravee 2 to show the mp3 tags and a whole lot of other functions. Looks stock and sounds great too.</blockquote>
