Radio Face on the Ci (archive)

This may be a little premature, but I'm so anxious to get the car!! I'm graduating in June and I'm hoping to have a silver 330Ci ready for me by then (hopefully putting down the deposit to get it made over Spring Break). I want the premium sound so that I'll have the 12 harmon-kardon speakers (including 2 subs), but does anyone know if the standard or CD changer stereo face is easily replaced by another stereo, say Sony or something of the sort? I know with my current BMW (1983 320i, hehe), the stereo switch wasn't too bad, but it seems to me according to the pictures I've seen and the cars I've seen at car shows that maybe the 330s would require quite a bit of mangling to get another face to fit in, in which case I'll just get the CD player face and maybe get a MD/CD changer installed later. Anyone have this similar question or know the answer?? I appreciate it. :)
