Hi
Im going to change my whip to a stubby. Ive literally looked at 100's and cannot make up my side.
Im leaning towards the BMW original one. What have you guys used and why?
thanks
Niall

I think you'll find 'best stubby' is an oxymoron.

Always happy to help if I can.
If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way!

I used a OEM Honda "semi-stubby" p/n 39151-T5R-305. It's about 7 inches long and she said it was just the right size..............

I just kept the whippy on my 1st Z4.
But my 2nd had a horrible silver stubby which had to go! So i got the Citroen/Peugeot black stubby for less than a tenner on Amazon. It fitted fine so I was glad I hadn't forked out BMW money.
But then someone post a photo of theri car with a semi-whippy (or even semi-stubby) so I bought a universal fitment one on Ebay, also for less than £10.
I transferred it onto my current Z4 - that way like BumpyZ4 I'm neither a whippy nor a stubby fan.
