Purpose and function of the shark antenna housing

The presented shark antenna roof housing for the BMW i3 I01 serves as an external cover for the antenna module, mounted in the rear zone of the vehicle's roof. The component acts as a protective shield for the actual antenna, safeguarding it against weather conditions and minor mechanical damage, while also streamlining airflow over the bodywork.

Thanks to the retention of the factory shape and dimensions, the housing allows for a correct fit with the roof surface, which reduces the risk of leaks and unwanted aerodynamic noise while driving.

Color and visual fit

The finish in Schwarz 2 - 668 allows for a seamless integration of the housing into the roofline, especially in BMW i3 I01 units with a dark body styling. This shade is consistent with the manufacturer's palette, which makes it easy to maintain a uniform look of the bodywork without the need for additional painting or color matching during the installation stage.

The slim shark profile emphasizes the modern character of the i3 model, while not interfering with the operation of the antenna systems for which it serves as an external cover.
