Purpose and function of the BMW i3 I01 shark antenna housing

The presented shark roof antenna housing has been designed specifically for the BMW i3 I01 generation. It is an empty body that allows for the transfer or replacement of the factory antenna insert without interfering with the roof structure. Thanks to the precise fit to the body lines, the original aerodynamics and the characteristic, modern roof profile are preserved.

The placement on the rear part of the roof promotes stable signal reception and reduces the risk of mechanical damage during daily use. The housing simultaneously serves as a protective element for the antenna electronics and as a finishing component that visually organizes the vehicle's roof area.

Color and visual fit

The housing is finished in Schwarz 2 - 668, which allows for a seamless match with the factory BMW paint palette. This color scheme blends well with both light and dark body shades, minimizing the visibility of tonal differences when replacing the part.

Thanks to the use of the original paint shade, a uniform look of the rear roof section is maintained without the need for additional painting or color matching. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged antenna, or restoring the vehicle to its factory visual specification.

Technical characteristics and installation

As an item from the Car antennas category, the shark housing for the BMW i3 I01 has been designed for proper seating on the rear roof section and compatibility with the factory antenna system. The empty body allows for the transfer of the original antenna module or the use of a compatible insert, while maintaining the factory shape and mounting points.

This solution is particularly useful in situations where only the outer part of the antenna has been damaged, while the electronics remain functional. Replacing just the housing allows for a reduction in the scope of service work and costs, while restoring full functionality and aesthetics to the roof.

Condition of the part and service application

The shark antenna housing is offered as a used part, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative to new components while maintaining the manufacturer's original specification. Such elements are often used in professional body and paint repairs, during roof reconstruction after mechanical damage or hail.

Choosing an original, used housing allows for maintaining the factory fit with the roof surface and correct mounting geometry, which is important for both the tightness and durability of the entire antenna assembly.

Why choose original used BMW parts

Using original BMW components in the roof equipment area reduces the risk of problems with fitment, leaks, or improper antenna seating. In the case of shark housings, this has a direct impact on the durability of the seals and the stability of the mounting at higher speeds.
