E39 540i head unit replacement

Hello all,

I'm a new owner of an E39 540 and was needing some advice on what stereo head units are best. I looked at Dennis Cooper's oem trim and will definitely go with that. For the head unit, I will want to make phone calls, nav and music on apple play, and would love rear back up camera.

Also, could you point me in a direction for a speaker upgrade? I'd be looking at component speakers. Sorry for copious questions, I've been out of the game so long.

What are some good compatible options to consider. Thanks for your time.

I just installed an xtrons android head (designed in uk) unit in my e46. They also make them for your e39 and they are designed specifically for our cars. Installed backup cam, wireless car play and I love it. I think I’m 400 all in. Here’s a quick search of one for yours. All plug and play.

Thanks. Do you know if the E39 will fit 6-1/2” speakers in doors?
