Purpose and compatibility with BMW E61 / E61N

The "shark fin" antenna housing has been designed specifically for the BMW 5 Series E61 and E61N estate models. The shape of the body is adapted to the roof profile of these models, which facilitates installation in the factory location and allows for maintaining the original body line without the need for modifications. Using an original component from the Car antennas group minimizes the risk of leaks and problems with fitting the seal or the antenna base.

Spacegrau Metallic A08 color – consistency with body paint

The finish in the Spacegrau Metallic A08 shade is consistent with the factory BMW paint palette, allowing the housing to harmonize with the vehicle's bodywork in this color. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged housing – there is no need for additional painting if the car has the same paint code. Maintaining a uniform color of the roof and body elements improves the visual consistency of the car and reduces the risk of shade differences visible in daylight.

Functional characteristics and installation

As an element from the Car antennas category, the housing primarily serves a protective function for the actual antenna module mounted in the roof. The body protects the interior of the antenna from weather conditions such as rain, snow, or UV radiation, while not interfering with the operation of the vehicle's radio and communication systems. The design intended for the BMW E61 / E61N allows for installation in place of the factory housing, using the existing base and seal, which reduces service time.

Used condition – a practical service solution

The antenna housing is a used item, which represents a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality for body and roof repairs. In many cases, only the outer cover is damaged, while the antenna electronics themselves remain functional – replacing just the housing allows you to restore the vehicle's aesthetics without the need to invest in a complete new set. This is a practical solution for accident repairs, parking damage, or replacing elements after intensive use.
