Cheap BMW i7 Aerial

Yes, the BMW i7 (G70), launched in the UK in 2023, does have aerials, though not a traditional mast-style one — it uses a shark-fin roof antenna that handles DAB, GPS, and connectivity signals. When sourcing a used replacement, you're almost certainly looking for the shark-fin antenna assembly rather than any kind of conventional whip aerial. If you're unsure which unit you need, describe your exact fitment to the breaker and confirm against your registration.

The BMW i7 (G70) is a single-generation model that launched in the UK for the 2023 model year and has not had a fundamental generation change or structural facelift as of 2025, so aerials from cars across that range are likely to share the same fitting. That said, minor running changes can affect antenna specifications, particularly where connectivity or software integration is involved, so always confirm the part against your specific registration with the breaker before buying.

Trim level — whether Excellence, M Sport, or xDrive60 specification — does not fundamentally change the aerial fitment on the BMW i7, as the shark-fin antenna location and fixing are shared across the range. You may find cosmetic differences such as colour-coded or contrasting shark-fin covers between trims, so check the finish of the used part matches your car if appearance matters to you. Underlying fitment to the roof and the electrical connector is the key compatibility factor, so confirm the connector type and part number with the breaker against your registration.

The drivetrain variant — whether a standard eDrive50, xDrive60, or the performance M70 xDrive — does not determine the aerial fitment, as the roof antenna assembly is common to the G70 platform regardless of powertrain. The shark-fin unit covers the same DAB, GPS, and connectivity functions across all variants. Confirm the part number and connector with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The i7 and the conventionally-engined G70 7 Series share the same platform and body structure, so the shark-fin roof aerial and its mounting are expected to be the same across the G70 family regardless of drivetrain. This can be a useful route to finding a used part, as G70 7 Series cars may be more readily available at UK breakers than i7s. Always confirm the connector specification and part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Ask the breaker to confirm the part number matches your registration, and check whether the shark-fin cover is the right colour or finish for your car if you want it to look original — mismatched covers are a common cosmetic issue with used aerials. Also confirm the wiring connector type, as the i7's antenna may serve multiple systems including DAB, GPS, and mobile connectivity, and a connector mismatch will prevent correct operation. A good UK breaker should be able to check all of this against your plate before dispatch.
