Exchange radio BAVARIA C REVERSE RDS — a genuine BMW part, number 65 12 8 353 565. The number stamped on the part is 65128353565; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 8353565. You will find it on our Instruments & Electronics shelf, under Radio, amplifier, CD player. BMW has since replaced it with 8368543.
It fits the E36 sedan, coupe and convertible (318i, 320i, 325i and M3, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M44, M50 or S50 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on 5 diagrams, among them Radio Bavaria C (65_0022) and Radio Bavaria C (65_0023). It weighs about 1.4 kg (3.0 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
