Shark Fin on Non Shark Fin Mini (Nav Equip’d)
Hey guys,
My building automatic garage door decided to close / malfunction as I was leaving and it clipped my stubby antenna cause the housing to brake. Since I have to replace the housing anyway, I was wondering if anyone successfully installed an OEM shark fin antenna on a Mini that came with the standard “flexible” antenna?? If so, what are the part numbers I need to order from the dealer???
Thanks
Peepers

I'm in the process of dealing with the building management. I'll post the outcome for those who are curious.
Regarding the parts that I need, when I key in my last 7 VIN# digits, it tells me I need the following http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...07&hg=65&fg=30
When I compare it to http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...32&hg=65&fg=50 it states "No parts found matching your car" and based on the photos it doesn't look like it'll even connect properly?
Thoughts?

Jason C - I think might be wrong or your MA gave you incorrect info? My car is equipped with NAV and it ever came with a shark fin. The NAV antenna (GPS) can be seen here #8 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...57&hg=65&fg=50
Now where all these parts are hidden within that car, I'm not to sure??
FL Blue Mini, I know how realOEM works and the search options. However what I was saying is that the two style antenna's don't look to be interchangeable? It appears that if your car came with a flexible type then you must stick with the flexible type (basing this on the connectors), and visa versa with the shark fin. Can anyone confirm this??

All I know is that I have a radio antenna integrated into my rear passenger glass, and that every MINI I've seen locally that has NAV looks the same.
Good luck on your mission guys.
