Went back in time..positive results...
The Alpine MP3/CD/WMA player in my car was awesome....tilt face, great quality et al...
But the working Becker Europa II in my basement looked great and worked great... So I went backwards and installed it today.. I love it! The sound is "more period" and I love the mechanic station selection. Everything works great, and the sensitivity of the dial allows me to zero in on particular stations. The cost? 4 dollars for two DIN connectors.

I want to do the same thing. I have a old Sony headunit in right now, looks for a good Europa II to install. I know the Europa doesn't put out much power, but how is the bass on it?

Nah Cervan, you've got cup-holders in yer 240D w123 located flip side of glove box door, 2 of em perfect soda/beer can size. All ye gotta do is be able to drive without soda/beer can falling over. And with 240D bein incredibly slooow - thats easy to do.
