Purpose and function of the component

The presented BMW 3 Series 1 E82 E90 E92 LCI Empty Housing Roof Antenna Arktis Metallic is an empty, external shell mounted on the vehicle's roof, without built-in electronics. Its task is to cover the actual antenna module and seal the mounting point, protecting the interior of the roof from weather conditions. The design, tailored to the LCI version of the 3 Series E90/E92 and 1 Series E82, ensures compatibility with the body lines and factory mounting system.

Color and paint matching

The element is finished in Arktis Arctic Metallic A34, a characteristic metallic color used in original BMW paints. This allows the housing to blend harmoniously with the roof and other body panels, reducing the need for additional painting when replacing a damaged part with one in the same color. The metallic coating ensures a visually consistent effect with the factory body finish.

Installation characteristics

As an element from the Doors and door panels group, the roof antenna housing works with the external body structure, requiring precise alignment with the roof surface. The empty construction allows for the transfer of the existing antenna module and seals, which maintains the original functionality of the vehicle's radio and telematics systems. Installation requires removing the old cover and transferring the internal components to the new housing, while maintaining tightness and proper cable routing.

Condition and service application

The offered housing is a used part, making it a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged antenna shell, or restoring body color consistency. It is suitable for both spot repairs and more extensive bodywork, where maintaining the original shapes and roof lines is essential.
