Grant 4 Report post Posted August 25, 2004 Carl Mine does that from time to time. It is some missing teeth on the bit that winds it up and down. It should start working again soon enough. Mine does it about once a year (only for a day or so). I was told that this happens all the time with E30's. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
37 South 6 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 (edited) Happened to my E30 once.You can buy a replacement mast for your electric antenna.Got one from Repco(cost about $50) They are very easy to install. i Edited August 26, 2004 by 37 South Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 Thanks guys, although not sure what the whole i thing meant... Will see if it fixes itself and if it doesn't come right i'll have to get a replacement - not that I use the radio very often but it looks gay fully erect while parked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 Hmmmm, you were right Grant, seems to be working fine now...isn't that an oddball thing. I know, I just live with it. It has done it randomly (like once a year) for 5 years now, and hasn't got any worse (more frequent).Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 my e30 doesnt have a aerial and my reception is perfect... i dnt know how but it is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Do you guys have the aerial in the windscreen or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 it might be there but i dont think it is aye, maybe its in the back windscreen? who knows but i like not having a electric one because of the times it breaks or you take it into the carwash with it up and it bends or snaps off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Im pretty sure the E36s are in the back window... I dont use my stereo for getting radio stations anyway - Id rather chuck an mp3 disc in, put it on random and not have to hear the same sh*t 4 times in a 3 hour trip....
