I have imported an Nov 1991 850i from Japan that I'm very happy with. I'm looking for a Pioneer connection cassette deck that will have CD changer controls and a headlight control module. Any advice to this rookie would be appreciated!

Yard that little tape deck out of there! Now!

How's the 12 cyl? Got'er sideways yet? What's the stealership want for that module?
Cheers from the frosty North.
Ohya - pics man!

Hey Johnny, sell your beauty ix yet?

Sounds like that would be a good car to have up north..

Headlight control module alone, may not make the DRL's work. We had an E34 in the shop last summer, that was a Jap import. Plugged a Canadian spec headlight module in, and no DRL's. FIred up the ETM, opened up the module, and figured out which wires to jump, to make them come on.

Hello ggerath,

You can try www.wuffer.net

Looks to be someone who knows a bit about the J-spec 850s.
I think he may sell replacement radios for the 850s as well.

Post some pics if you get a chance.

AYE but it is man....but I should post up a pic of my truck that has about 2 months of road salt and dirt on it - it has been too cold to wash vehicles. I cant bear to have the Alpineweiss have that abuse also!! So it sleeps away in my garage beside the 325iT.

So no, I havent sold it yet, but really havent tried much either. I will lower price and re-list actively...

Ah 850s...They remind me of a favorite quip a German friend imparted to me about the ladies "easy to look at, difficult to handle". They're styling is truly timeless, but they are the autoworld's equivalent of that high maintenance super model girl friend.
