Purpose and compatibility with BMW F-series

The BMW 1 3 F20 F21 F31 Empty Housing Roof Antenna Tiefseeblau Deep Sea Blue A76 is designed as a body component mounted on the rear part of the roof. Thanks to the factory geometry of the housing and the mounting base, it ensures proper adhesion to the roof panel and correct sealing in the mounting area. The construction is prepared for compatibility with the factory roof wiring harnesses used in the F-series, which facilitates integration with the vehicle's existing equipment.

The product comes from the group of original BMW components, which means maintaining the correct dimensional tolerances and compatibility with the vehicle's factory systems. The used nature of the item allows for an economical antenna replacement while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Color and finish Tiefseeblau Metallic - A76

The antenna is finished in Tiefseeblau Metallic - A76, corresponding to the factory BMW paint from the Deep Sea Blue palette. The metallic paint coating ensures visual consistency with the bodywork, reducing the need for additional painting when replacing the element on vehicles in the same shade.

Choosing an antenna in the correct color allows for a uniform roof appearance, without visible shade differences between the component and the rest of the body. This is particularly important for cars where aesthetics and maintaining the original visual character are a priority.

Vehicle placement and mounting aspects

The roof antenna is intended for installation in the rear part of the roof, along the vehicle's axis. Such placement promotes even signal distribution and minimizes aerodynamic interference. The "shark fin" shape has been developed to reduce air noise at higher speeds and to harmonize with the roofline of the BMW F20 and F31.

When replacing the component, it is worth paying attention to:

• correct positioning of the seal at the contact point with the roof panel,
• careful connection of the wiring harness connectors inside the vehicle,
• stable tightening of the mount from the headliner side to avoid looseness and vibrations.

This approach allows for maintaining full antenna functionality and reducing the risk of leaks in the roof area.

Characteristics of the used OEM component

As a used item, the antenna comes from vehicle dismantling and represents a solution for users looking for original parts at a reasonable price. Factory origin means maintaining the correct shape, mounting points, and compatibility with the BMW F-series electrical installation.

Choosing a used OEM component is particularly beneficial in situations where the priority is matching the existing vehicle configuration and maintaining visual consistency with the rest of the body. The shark fin antenna in Tiefseeblau Metallic - A76 allows for the replacement of a damaged element without the need for body modifications.
