Thats the exact replacement that I brought, seems to be working okay for the couple of months its been on the car

Got this as well, works fine and much quieter then old one. Just one tip, when tightening it in place (top nut outside) be careful as even a bit too much force will make one of the rings underneath (inside the car, that is slightly greyer in that e bay pic, below that roundish part) crumble, dunno what its made of but I had to use some spacers instead of it...

Thanks for the advice.

Talking about aerials, I've got the non-electric one on mine and it's kind of bent, which makes me think that's the reason why the radio reception is crap.

I have bought this replacement > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-RUBBER-AN ... 53f09b9889

But haven't got around to replace it yet...I assume nothing complicated?

The most annoying part I found is removing trunk trim... Other then that refiting areal is not hard really.

But looking at that pic it might not fit e30... As far as I know none of e30 had roof areal. I read online some use areal from Z models (they are not electric/telescopic)

I bought a universal chrome electic aerial off eBay, less than £20 and works as good as a bmw one.

Lots of fittings and lined up ok with the bodywork mounts.

Only think if recommend is a rubber gasket to stop dribbles of water leaks and a long drain tube into the Flap where the sunroof drain goes ...

You're obviously not familiar with touring and M3 models then!

Is it possible to get a replacement for just the antenna part of the electric aerial? i.e. without the whole drive mechanism.

Are the electric black mast ones still available ? Been after one for ages.
