ed in the kit but no fitting instructions,can anyone help please.

I haven't no, but will be interested to see how they fit and how good they are. I have the BMW Hybrid digital TV tuners too and the reception is a bit hit and miss. Do you also have the part numbers of the aerials too?

Hi, neither pictures are quite the same as the parts in the kit,the aeriels in the kit have a fly lead coming from each of the brackets with a small module on the end with a fixing for a bolt,and the two coupling leads do not match up with those in the second picture.

Haven't tried them in the Bumpers,
Using a Mix of tourer rear side window aerials and extra ones inside pull down section (emergency triangle) on tailgate and one in front of car.
Till signal strength goes up to full power, don't want to make permanent and looking at all options.

All the mounting points exist on the BMW's i'm told, so i assume its a mod job for the 75/ZT

thankyou for your replys but i am not sure if the bmw has an alloy armature behind the bumper as in the 75 tourer and if so do the aeriels fit inside or outside of it?

i would imagine they would fit on the outside, as if they where covered by the armature it would reduce the signal slightly
