Re: OFFICIAL: 1-Series Convertible

Very interesting colour I must admit. Though I think that we won't see many 1 Series Cabrios in this paint What a pity.

Maybe Eni or Scott can confirm my thoughts on it being cosmetic here?

** Edit: Just curious guys, where exactly is the antenna for the 6er and 3er cabs? .. and why couldn't the 1er cab have it so well hidden like its older siblings?
I find it weird if it only has a visual function as the other 3er & 6er Cabrios don't have it. Maybe the 3er & 6er Cabrio have the antenna integrated into the windshield like the Audi A6.

True.

Radio AM / AM antennas are integrated in windshields (except in 1er & Z4 - where classic antenna stick is used).

While functional shark fin antenna is needed for eg. cell phone (BMW Assist), satellite radio etc.

If that's the case, then where is the shark-fin for the 6er and 3er cabs?

When the 3er cab was being tested it had the shark-fin on the bootlid like the 1er cab has, but the production ready 3er cab no longer had it. Confusing.

All the promotional pics seem to not have the shark-fin on the bootlid, but I've seen a 3er cab irl with one on the bootlid. Perhaps it's as Eni suggested, the shark fin only appears when you order satellite radio and/or BMW assist.

Excellent job BMW! They have really left Mercedes biting the dust in the small car category.

After a little more researching,.. yep, you're right Matt (and Eni), the 3er cab' does have the shark-fin, and yep, it's placed smack-bang in the middle of the rear-deck.

Stupid me. My apologise.
