try going here http://www.blaupunktusa.com or calling your local car audio speacialist some of blaupunkt's products had red lighting you might want to call them and inquire further. hope this helps
Theres quite a few aftermarket cd players out there now that will match the color of your dash lights. Kenwood has ones that you can choose like 250 different color patters. They change the text and background colors.
www.crutchfield.com has a lot of cd players but they have high prices. Good website to reference though, they have LOTS of specs on units. I was looking at one of those Kenwood Excelon cd/mp3 players. Just like you I want it to match colors too. Have fun

Most major audio brands now have models with selectable colours to match yuor dash lights. Buy anything of known brand that you like the look of - I've seen dozens of ideas on what cd unit is in-keeping of the e30 dash and all of them different, so really it is up to you.
Buy a reputable brand and slightly above basic spec and you can't go wrong.

Thanks for the inputs. This task is actually more difficult than I expected. I guess the taste and style has changed since the 80's. It is hard to find a CD/reciever with black body with amber mono color.
I found a few that can change the background color but they also have a lot chrom and multiple color scheme. The closest on found is a Sony unit GT 400
Still looking but will give up soon.

Clarion rocks !
Clarion without amber backlight, but black face
Clarion with optional red/amber backlight but some brushed Al.
JVC KD-G115
JVC KD-G126
JVC KD-S871
Panasonic CQC1001W
Pioneer DEH-3730MP
There's a very quick selection - there are heaps of models out there that work.
I have a JVC which I'm about to upgrade - it is alomost all screen and the screen is glossy black where it isn't lit - the rest of the unit is tasteful metallic grey or black - newer than the sdash, but it works.
