I've never understood the need for a stubby.
I completely removed my aerial & replaced it with a plain black screw to seal it up.
My radio reception is perfect?

Guess you haven't tried getting AM reception then? There is a 2nd dedicated FM aerial in the rear bumper, so as long as you don't want to listen to AM you can do what you like with the whip/stubby.

I do think most agree an antenna looks better/more factory than a cover plate.

What's the fit and Finnish like?

Well it's made for the car so the fit is perfect.

Finish is plain (mat iirc) black just like the bottom part of the whip arial.

Just a word of advice, the BMW OEM one is no longer made in 105mm spec abd hasn't been for almost 4 years. There are none avalible and the one in the Amazon link is now the 83mm version which has the same part number. I've pointed this out to BMW as I tried for ages to locate a new 105mm one only to find all listed as 105mm were 83mm ones being supplied.

I just bought mine. On the E89 It is a Pug/Citroen part (as is the fishing rod). It is the same part as the 607 (and various others). It cost me £5 and fits and works perfectly. If you are interested I will dig out the part number. I think it isnthe same as the E85/6 as the part number is quite old.
