Yup, I've also got a BMW. I initially has the "red" faceplate, which matched well, but was only readable at night. I've since switched to the "blue" faceplate. Even though the colors don't match quite as well, I like being able to read the screen.

On the other hand, I've found the "red" faceplate actually matches quite well with the "orange" display of my Yamaha home stereo components. So, that's what the "backup" empeg has on it now.
