Hey guys,

we figured out something new in our german forum and I wanted to let you know.

As you may know, the sports-antenna from BMW costs about 28€ and is ~20cm long. Now there you go :

Just buy the short antenna from a Peugeot 607 model part no. : 6561N3 . It's 6,5cm long and costs 5,05 €.

The users of our forum don't have any problems with radio reception. Here are some pictures how it looks like on the 1-series - it has the same color as the OEM socket - black matt!

Just bought one off eBay for £5.50 inc P&P. I hope my talksport reception isn't affected or I might have to sell it on here.

Can you 130i owners post some pics with the aerial on when you get it.

Cheeeeeeeerrrrrrrsssss

 

[mcflow]

I don't know why you exactly want a pic of a 130i, because every 1-series looks the same, but my 2nd pic in the 1st post is a 130i with the sports-aerial.

Fits and works perfectly. No issues with either FM or AM reception
Looks canny to boot !! (Apologies for the pictures......they're pretty [email protected] !)

 

[gg8tcw]

Just ordered mine from Ebay.

Looks really good on the pics. A lot neater than the stock BMW one, and almost as neat as a shark fin, but this one works. Seems to be a win-win situation!

 

[Sensisimon]

Works, and looks perfectly as you can see.

 

[555fcm]

just received mine today and it works pretty well to be honest.

Looks much better than stock aswell!

can't com[plain for onle £5.50

 

[henrymitchell]

Yup, got mine today too... very neat!

 

[toon9]

Like I said about the first pics - they were [email protected]
So here's a better one (I'm a pefectionist) - with the megs carnauba residue removed from the aerial base as well !!

There is another pic of mine
