A number of the Pick-n-Pulls in SJ have E39s. I don’t have a radio yet or I’d try it.

I have not picked up the antenna amp parts, so I am not sure if it would help. Some of it is due to the Z3 antenna being so small, and basically all newer cars integrate an antenna into the rear window either next-to or as part of the defroster. But yeah, it still bugs the hell out of me that radio reception sucks.

Did you figure this one out? I have the same set-up and reception is not the best...

Those with CD43 head units all know that the radio reception sucks when you use the HU with the E30 stock antenna setup. The CD43 was designed to be used in cars that had the diversity antenna and amplifier hardware. So, has anyone successfully retrofitted the am[amplifier parts from an E36 or E39 into their E30?
