They sell a kit that reloactes the antenna to the front of the roof just like the M3. In fact, I'm pretty sure it uses an M3 antenna. Bav Auto and BMP both sell it, as I'm sure lots of other places do too. You will have to have the hole for the stock antenna filled and painted afterwards though. -
i have one( bmp m3 antenna) havent installed it yet but seems simple just have drill a hole and take apart your headliner. real m3 and it looks nice. oh yeah instruction are in germanComment

yea, i bought a used m3 antenna, and am waiting till spring to have it installed.
BTW, does anybody have info on taking off the front part of the headliner?

If Im not mistaken that sounded like a big pain in the ass... I think it was Jordan that said the windshield and rear window had to be removed for access to the headliner. I don't know for sure if this goes for just accessing the front part, but I'd be willing to guess it does (removing the windshield).Originally posted by bimmer8604
Maybe PM Jordan for more infoBrandonComment

stop spreading misinformation, the front headliner comes off very easily, pull off the sun visors (4 screws) and a buncha screws that hold down the top of the headliner (access through sunroof) and peel back a little of the door trim and a pillar cover. Tools needed: one #2 phillips screwdriver :roll:
c'mon guys

make sure you have a quality body shop do this mod. the PO of my project car did it really poorly. this is what it looks like from the outside
and this is what it looks like from the inside...
plus the hole they drilled for the antenna on top was rusting as well because they didn't finish it after drilling.sigpic
