Fitted this today while getting hit on the head with massive Hail Stones...Got it shipped from Canada and gives no loss in radio reception..Much better looking than the other Arial IMHO

Don't why BM Never Mounted the Arials under the rear bumper like Mercs in the first place...Does not look right having an arial on the car

I almost got the aeriel removed while mine was in the bodyshop. Wasn't sure if it effected anything else though such as bluetooth. I believe that BMW now speak to the cars using this rather than plugging in to the port.

I want a short aerial too, looks cool!

Quite a few people do this mod and it does look tidy. I prefer the full height aerial myself, the shorter one always looks like someone's broken off the end of the oem one to me, but it's a nice quick mod and aesthetically pleasing if you prefer it. :)
