Hi I'm not happy with the way my power antenna is mounted in the boot of my 325i sport. Was wondering if people could post a few pics of how there ones look? I think the bracket I currently have looks a bit crap personally.
Cheers

This is the dealer fitting guide for the antenna, and shows the correct fixing bracket in one of the pics.

It's not the antenna the OP is short of. It's the mounting bracket he lacks.

Yeah it is the bracket I am looking for. I have one but think there are better ways of mounting it. Thanks Brianmoooore for that spec sheet. It's very helpful. If there is anyone out there with a picture of their own one that would be much appreciated

E30s were supplied from the factory without radios and aerials, so no aerial at all is original.
Of course, most purchasers specified a radio of some kind, and it looks like whoever first bought yours went for a M3 aerial.
