E92 beardage needed
Discussion
Chaps,
Currently shopping for an E92 for the misses. Three of the four cars I'm looking at have the shark fin on the roof, but aren't listed as having nav, DAB or bluetooth. Just wondering before I start making calls as to why they'd have the fin? Could you order a dummy one as an OEM option, or is likely that they do have BT but the dealers (all non-BMW) aren't aware of it?
Also do all E92s (these are all 58/09 325i Sports) have Xenons and electric seats and finally how hard is it to retrofit USB audio into?
So many questions, ta in advance.

The fin is where the aerial goes. Our E90 has got the fin. Doesn't matter if it has nav or not.Currently shopping for an E92 for the misses.

I've been e-90 shopping myself for ages, i can confirm Xenons are optional extras (and rare at that) on the saloon, but on the coupe (e92) i seem to notice a lot of them have xenons, so maybe it is standard on the coupe rather than the saloon/touring.Currently shopping for an E92 for the misses.

Could the fin not be something to do with bmw assist?

The fin is used for Bluetooth telephone, so I'd imagine its there regardless of whether its specified or not. I didnt have Assist either but had a fin.
No idea why everyone is so obsessed with the fin, I think it looks a bit naff especially as all the knuckledraggers keep fitting fake ones to older cars. How daft is that, why would anyone want a pretend telephone antenna?
I only ask as a bit of googling suggests the fin houses either the GPS aerial for the nav, the external aerial for DAB or the external aerial for the bluetooth preparation. I was just wondering why I see cars that have the fin but none of the above.....
ETA I don't want the fin if it's not already there, buying a dummy fin is retarded beyond belief, just wanted to clear up the 'to fin or not to no fin' confusion.

Hmmm, mine had Nav..
It's an external phone antenna - ie, it can be used to boost your mobile reception.
