Sorry but I want a stubby!

[MikeyH]

Okay, so I have been a bit derisory about stubby aerials in the past but now I have seen them on a z4 I want one. I don't listen to the radio so reception doesn't matter, I just want it for the look of it. Can any one tell me the best place to get a cheap one. Wish I wasn't so jokey about Ed's now.

Michael.
Sit down, take a few deep breaths, wait until the sun-stroke has worn off then you should be OK.

Then no more mention of those silly tings; OK? OK.

Edit; must be the sun as it's in the wrong section anyway

Go to BMW. They are about £25 and we have used one for the past 8 years without any of the terrible radio reception you read about.

Sleepwalking with an erection is the quickest way to get a stubby..........

I put a stubby on my E46 convertible and even though it was a BMW one it didn't give great reception. Loved the look of it, but on the odd occasion you want/need the radio it annoyed the hell out of me. Just saying!

But I do like the look of them on Z4s...............

On E89s I think stubbies only follow splitters.. but..given the multiple other aerials and the diversity module it’s from a reception view point fairly immaterial…

I like my stubby on my E85

I imported one of these from the US:

No issues at all in my experience with radio reception. Why is it such an emotive issue though? It's cheap enough to have both a stubby & a whippy & takes barely a minute to switch.

I have a stubby on my e85 but kept the wippy as well

I have a £6 stubby, never listen to radio, needed so car cover goes on easy everyday.
