Stubby Aerial!

[Disca]

I swear there used to be a thread about the best ones reception wise and what to get.
But I can't find it for the life of me
Whats the OEM BMW stubby aerial that will fit on the Z3? I used to use the 1 series one on my old Z4s so I assume it is probably that?

I've got a Citroen one on mine, its not great for reception but it works and its tiny

That does look pretty good! Admittedly I am using my phone for music most the time anyway

I've just bought a Citroen one for my Z4 and can confirm decent enough signal for 5Live on 693AM this evening on the way home from work.

Ahhh my favourite show!

Either that or Heart FM and I'd rather lick the tarmac road surface than listen to that...

The Nissan Micra looks the same as the OEM one but is a lot shorter but works the same.

It's about 3 to 4" shorter.

This is the one I bought, direct from Richbrook, though available from a few places. Worked really, I even bought another one for my Mazda 3. http://www.richbrook.co.uk/aerials/short-black-anti-theft-car-aerial191

A word of warning though, the OEM aerial is a bit bendy and forgiving if accidentally nocked, the stubby style is not. The original one had been fine for 15 years, within a month of me putting the stubby one on I came back to the car in a car park to find the aerial on the floor, together with the top of the antennae base. I'm being kind when I say that someone must have 'accidentally' nocked it, either way it cost me £100 or so for the new base and grommets from Sopers. I've gone back to the more flexible style.

I use this item, decent reception for I listen to.

I have a small gold stubby that was on my car when I bought it. Happy to put it in an envelope if anyone wants it.
