Hi guys, pretty new here and am slot working my way through my list of jobs.

The next one is the aerial. I have an 89 316i coupe - and I believe the aerial is manual - it has no box in the rear wing.

If this is the case, can I easily retrofit an electrical one, or is it not worth the hassle?

Thanks!

I fitted one of these to my 325i cabby

according to the item list, it will fit your car, pretty easy to install, and the guys at car masts uk actually know a thing or two about this product, well made, just needs power and a trigger signal from your radio.

Click on 'wiki' underneath 'tech help' on our forum index page, then click on 'retrofit guides', and you will find the BMW dealer instructions for fitting an electric aerial.
