If it is the grommet it's it's only £2.50 from the dealer, bought a facelift one last week.

Sorry should have been clearer..it's the black box the aerial screws into...I snapped it's little head off, the bit with the thread in it. Part# 65218375159
Problem is it has a wire under it which has also snapped off, and it's the kind of plastic that resists glue of any kind.

If it's the part I'm thinking of you will need a new base part. It's easy to replace from the boot but the part is c£80

Hi Jontt
Yep that's the one unfortunately...Yes, I've noticed the price...quite outrageous. If I can't find one at a good price, I may have to use one off another car. Essentially it's a signal booster, but finding one with a similar fitting may be a problem..

Re: WANTED..ANTENNA BASE...HELP!!
At the price of a replacement, it may make sense to have the connecting wire re-attached, and the plastic part "welded". I know a few guys that do "plastic welding". They repair plastic bumpers and parts..might be able to get a repair for £.10.00 while I hunt the breakers for an E36. I would imagine the same unit was used on the E30 and the E36's. Looks pretty standard issue.
even if the price is a tad shocking.

If you put the part no. In RealOEM it will list all models that use the same part to help your second hand search
