BMW used to do a 110mm version which was black but has been discontinued for a couple of years and replaced with the 83mm version which was always aimed towards the 1 series hatch whilst the 110mm was aimed at the convertibles. I'm sure you'll see the 100mm one you saw in Germany when you least expect it. Then all you would need to do it have the wheel colour changed to match. Mikes wheels are a cop perish colour and a very similar colour to DSB, looks an ace combo
I believe that the DAB ariel is separate to this but I could be wrong.
It about around £22.80 usually. Part number is 65202296761
Oh and TopDMC, great looking car

Correct on the part number, correct on the price.
Not so sure about DAB ariel being separate, certainly can't see another ariel anywhere else
As to looks and performance...
On my previous E89 I had tried a cheap stubby bought from eBay and that gave poor reception and the black came off to leave a copper colour. Then bought one from Citroen as I had read on the forum that this was every bit as good as the OGM and again that gave cr*p reception, so ended up putting the whip back on.
So when I bought this car I added £22.80 to have "the real thing" knowing that if it did not work they would take it straight back.
Really happy
with this one,it works fine and looks great - so much more solid than the others I had bought.
You get what you pay for!

envy said:very nice and about time too. since you initially raised this thread..... i chopped in my 20i and traded up to a 35is..... only difference is it only took me 4 weeks from deciding to go for it and getting my car lol but i blame this thread for putting the idea in my head in the first place!
I remember your thread and was envy'ous (see what I did there LOL) of you getting yours so quick.
I did actually tell the dealer about this and he said must have been stock car - didn't sound like it at the time.
Anyway, yours is old now

Deep Sea Blue with extended white Interior...beautiful
With a nice bit of walnut
There should be no problems keeping it clean if it's your pride and joy
What's the best price anyone has had for a 3.5i
How does this reflect on nearly new or ex demo prices
Anyone know?

Just come in from sealing the exterior, Gtechniq EVO 2 with three coats
Next to seal the alloys and then start on the interior tomorrow
In answer to your question Captainken, I paid just over £35k but it does have £6k of extras - that was about the same if not less than ex dems.

The DAB Antenna goes nowhere near the rear ariel and according to the parts diagram, the DAB antenna is within the rearview mirror housing so you won't be able to see it http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=LM12&mospid=52067&btnr=65_1948&hg=65&fg=30.
BMW do very well at hiding quite a few bits, the SIM card, GPS and antenna for phone connections in the rear bumper.
