Original BMW Short Rod Antenna Mast for BMW 323Ci, 325Ci, 330Ci, M3, and Z4 (2000–2008)

This Original BMW antenna mast is the short rod that picks up the radio signal on the 2000–2006 BMW 323Ci, 325Ci, 330Ci, and M3 and the 2003–2008 Z4. BMW names it "Antenna rod for short rod antenna," and the rod weighs 28 g. BMW's production start for this number is December 1999. Constant sun exposure fades the mast over time, and a mast can also snap off, which is why this rod is sold on its own. It is made in Hungary and sold as a single piece.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

A rod antenna mast is the exposed element of the antenna. It collects the broadcast signal and passes it through the base to the radio, so a broken or missing mast costs reception. This part is only the rod for BMW's short rod antenna, not the base. On the E46 it belongs to the Ci coupe and convertible models, and on the Z4 it covers both the E85 roadster and the E86 coupe. BMW shows the same mast across M54, M52, and S54 engines in these chassis, so engine choice does not change the part.

Common Questions

Does this include the antenna base?
No. BMW supplies this number as the rod for the short rod antenna only.

Why replace a mast that still works?
Masts often fade badly from sun exposure, and a snapped mast reduces radio reception.

Swap a faded or broken mast for a factory-correct rod from PMB.
