Sorry but I want a stubby!

Or you want to go fishing. :lol:

Are you saying I’m a garden gnome :x

I wasn't but now you mention it. :lol:

It’ll be handy to keep the flies off

 

[Nanu]

Why?

 

[MikeyH]

We get a lot of flies around our pond

Just bought one from Amazon for £5 or £6 by a company called Eightwood 6.5 cm
Took less than a minute to replace. Started the car, ran through the radio stations and all good. Not tried on a drive yet though.

Got the one from ekimj10, arrived yesterday, proper BMW one in original box. Wouldn't accept any money for it or the postage, told me to donate the money to the forum. Donation made.

Here are some photos

Makes the car look more modern I think and goes with the look of the car. Very happy with it.

Mine is a Renault stubby. No problems at all in 7 years

Looks like someone has taken a pair of scissors to a proper one

Noohhhhh….I can see a stubby on an E85…but it’s sacrilege on an E89…you loose the remote control car look…. :thumbsdown:

 

[MikeyH]

Was a great looking car, now a fabulously greater looking car congratulations on seeing the light.

I have a StubbyJR https://www.cravenspeed.com/stubby-jr-antenna-for-1995-2016-bmw-z3-z4-coupe/

Easier when using a cover... no noticeable difference in signal.... its how you use it. :wink:

With the antenna diversity these cars can have decent signal even without the external antenna. So when maiming, err modernizing the design, why not go with these, instead of leaving a third left. I’m off now to buy some more whippy wax.

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 dont think its actually emotive bud, more just teasing. Personally i think if you want a stubby just cut it off with a pair of wire cutters, looks just as good
