Application and function of the roof antenna housing

The presented roof fin housing is designed for BMW 3 Series E90 and E92 generation models, which feature a characteristic shark fin antenna on the roof. The component serves as a cover for the antenna module, protecting it from weather conditions and giving the roof a cohesive, factory-original appearance.

As an empty housing, it does not contain any antenna internals or electronics – it allows you to transfer your existing module or use it solely as a styling element when you want to maintain the original body lines.

Color and paint matching

The housing is finished in Malachite Green Dark Metallic – S10, a distinctive dark metallic green shade used in the BMW palette. Thanks to this, it can serve as an aesthetic complement to a body in the same color or as a deliberate contrast on the roof for other paint jobs.

The factory paint finish facilitates installation without the need for immediate repainting, and if necessary, the element can also be prepared for repainting if you are planning a color change or a full roof restoration.

Construction, installation, and roof integration

The roof fin housing is designed as a body component belonging to the Convertible, car roofs and parts group, with a base shaped to match the curvature of the BMW 3 Series roof. The design provides space for the factory antenna module, allowing it to be transferred from the previous housing.

When installed correctly, the roof line and the seal integrity with the roof panel are maintained, which is important for both interior protection and vehicle aerodynamics. The element is intended for installation in the factory location, using existing mounting points on the roof.

Characteristics of the used part

As a used part, the BMW roof fin housing retains its original geometry and mounting method, which promotes proper fitment with the roof panel. This is a practical solution when replacing a damaged, cracked, or faded housing, especially when you want to maintain the vehicle's factory look without resorting to aftermarket replacements with uncertain fitment.

Choosing an original component from the secondary market allows for an economical repair of the roof area while maintaining stylistic consistency with other BMW body components.
