New BMW Sport Antenna for 'verts
I just installed a new short antenna on my 'vert. It's made by BMW for convertibles (e46's, z3's and z4's). I think it looks better and I haven't noticed any loss of radio reception. The part# is 65 20 2 179 726; the best price I found was $19.27 + $8 shipping at .bmwmercedesparts.com.

Yes, it should fit any BMW with a screw in antenna. It even comes with 3 different sized removable screw threads, I used the smallest one on mine.

Wonder what a retro-fit shark fin would look like there instead of these puppy tails.

It would look like a left-nutted shark.

Thanks for sharing. My antenna is crap and I've been looking for a better replacement and you've found one for me!

Well if you need to, you could add a fake one on the right. Hey and even one on the trunk.

FINs, YES

Should have thought of that before... Thanks, one more mod to add. It would certainly turn heads.
