Is the Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 worth the price?

- Hello everyone! Welcome to @AutoScholarwithMrB ! Today I review an exciting, yet expensive head unit that I got for the BMW e30 Touring project.
I have been eyeing the Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 for a while now and figured it would be the perfect fit for our OEM plus e30 build. While the retro looks of the unit were awesome, I did find some flaws which I go into in the video.
I want to make clear that I am not an audio guy. I have never been and don't have much interest in it. I am a consumer, and the review comes from that angle. I know I will probably get some hate mail in the comments but I feel it is necessary for the review to be honest.
I have had this unit for a few weeks after filming and I thought it would grow on me, but it has not.
This is not a sponsored review, and the unit was paid for in full, as with all things on the channel unless specified.

I bought this one for my 190E 2.5 16V and i will admit, this is the best retro style unit made, it fits in any 80s to 90s car so well and the quality is damn good. Just need tk get some better subs and speakers to make it perfect
@@l04d83 man I want a 190e so bad! Might be the next project if I can find a three pedal version.
@@AutoScholarwithMrB Get one, it's worth it. You could swap in a Getrag 265 manual trans in, its relatively easy. Allthough do swap the pedal box for a Tilton or AP Racing set, since the factory pedals are not the best feeling ones.
the jvc you removed can much the dash color 100% Also i believe you can softly tune the exact color
I'm considering getting the Blaupunkt essen 200 dab bt for my Saab 900 because it has the look, has a CD player and is half the price.
I feel you on the build quality and price i got a faulty one trying to get it replaced from blaupunk which has been an additional con id add their north America customer is based out of cali and im on the east so times are a pain and they are trying to help but resources seem minimal
I put this in my 93 M5 and it fit the vibe perfectly! I can’t quite remember how I set the colors but I was able to dial the orange/red to match like 95%. The plastic seems to match the E34 a bit more than it does the E30. The Bluetooth works great, connects to my phone automatically when I get in the car. I do think it’s a bit overpriced but honestly it’s the only clean option for a OEM+ build, I think that unless you knew exactly what this head unit was you’d never know it wasn’t original.
I think at $200-$250 this would be fine. How long have you had it?
@@AutoScholarwithMrB it’s been about two+ years, I think it could be cheaper if they got rid of the DAB stuff that is specific to European market and just kept it to Bluetooth and am/fm. Switch it to USB-C to future proof it a bit, maybe even get crazy and make it a 20w charger. I will say my volume knob isn’t loose like that.
The Frankfurt is the better option, imho. The LED colour indeed is a bit too weak, especially with sunlight. Sound quality is perfect.
That is what I am hearing as well. I think the Frankfurt would work well in an e36 design wise, but look a little off in an e30. That’s why I went with this one. Definitely having second thoughts about that. Thanks for your comment!
The main problem to me is that it sticks out and doesn't flush with the panel/dashboard. I was considering adding it to my 635CSi but gave up the idea because of that. Not worth the money at this point.
Man 6 series BMWs are so cool! I would love to have one someday.
Have you seen the VDO Continental TR7412UB-OR? Alot of Porsche 911 guys go that route b/c of alot of what you're saying.
Yes I have friends with them and they have issues with Bluetooth connectivity.
I wish I had the opportunity to film in a shop that's not noisey like mine.
Luckily this is a school, and I film before and after classes. When the shop is in full swing it normally is very loud.
