I originally switched to the short antenna because I was using the car cover a lot and I didn't want to unscrew the antenna every time I wanted to use the car cover. 3" or less works best with the car cover.

Yes, the one in the picture is the 4" OEM BMW antenna.

Just like 03BeastCharmer said, the offsets on the ZCP wheels are not the same as the stock wheels. ZCP wheels without spacers fit -5mm on the front and +9mm on the rear. Adding 12mm to the front gives me +7mm on the front, which looks a lot better.

I use both first aid storage boxes to store random stuff. The Z4 really lacks storage space, especially with that tiny glove box. The same part numbers work for either side.

I wanted to do the upgrade but do not want to mount it on the exterior - so i opted not to make the purchase. Any issues with reception?

I think mhughett did a great job describing the satellite antenna location, a picture wouldn't help much. My cable is routed differently, it goes: bulkhead area, up the passenger side B pillar, inside the roof lining, down the passenger side A pillar, then along the windshield to the center of the dash. No issues with reception other than the typical satellite reception issues.

I didn't realize they were sold out. I bought mine from bimmernav.com a couple of years ago. It works great especially with the new 6.0 firmware.
