2006 Antenna

Just say a photo of a 2006 MCS SB/S and saw that it had one of those funky shark fin type antenna's. Does anytone know if Mini went away from the standard mini antenna to the Shark Fin ?

The shark fin is usually only on cars that have satellite radio.

Shark Fin Antenna

When I bought my new Mini a year ago the only Minis coming with that antennas were the one equipped with the navigation system. The radio antenna is actually located in the right rear window glass on these models.

So is the regular old euro-style antenna gone for '06?
