This robotic sounding review comparing the Z4 Coupe and Cayman S has something to say about the whippy:

That was the only sentence he said that made him sound remotely human too!

So do these eBay stubbies still let the sat nav work or does that get a signal from elsewhere?

Yes I am a newbie

Stupid sounding robotic voice, what does it know
You have too much time on your hands Collin, trawling the net for robotic voices, what ever next

Now now Frederick, don't be misleading people by trying to further your own evil whippy agenda; we all know that a satnav signal is received via a network of geostationary satellites and that everything else is received via the aerial. But in this case, if you happen to be using a whippy, everything will have been relayed via fred's house having been manipulated and injected with subliminal evil messages attempting to convert the stubbyites into reverting back to whippys and donating 20% of their salaries and income to the 'Fred Whippy's Whippyites and Widows' benevolent and hardwhip, i mean, hardship fund.

I struggle to understand why people want to fit Peugeot components on their BMWs. What next, Lada gearboxes ?

[bmwaddict]

I have a Peugeot one on mine, fits perfectly, follows the taper of the base exactly and looks great. Not like it has a huge Peugeot badge on it!

... nor made by them.

I have the official BMW one. Was a gift in my Christmas stocking this year. I couldn't help but note the wording on the stubby box:

This 83mm aerial is significantly shorter in length than the aerial and provides the perfect visual enhancement of the vehicle.

I couldn't have said it better.

And that blows any "whippy" enthusiast's reasoning out of the water!

She's a good girl at first she thought you were gay but afterwards, she was sure you were gay .... but I won't mention your little willy.... oops

I did think it was a bit weird when she asked if I wanted to borrow one of ur gimp suits and strap-in, vibrating buttplugs. She 'said 'I thought all guys liked that?'. I politely declined and said 'no darlin, it's just Paul. Now, put this dog collar on.'

You've spent way too long on the internet Chris, all alone on 'those' sites, pulling you're icicle pecker and now you've lost touch with reality

And = WTF is an "icicle pecker?"

"Compatible for all vehicles with Navigation, Bluetooth, TV, Etc" - Thats all nonsense !!

My understanding was that the Stubby/Whippy is only the AM aerial anyway.
The FM Aerial is built into the rear windscreen
The TV Aerial is on the rear left quarter, under the rear lights and runs along behind the bumper
The SatNav aerial is tucked up above the rear view mirror, behind the Courtesy light
The Bluetooth aerial is behind the dash, nearest the driver. Why would you put it outside the car ?

"Compatible for all vehicles with Navigation, Bluetooth, TV, Etc" - Thats all nonsense !!

From my understanding, the Stubby/Whippy is only the AM aerial anyway.
The FM Aerial is built into the rear windscreen
The TV Aerial is on the rear left quarter, under the rear lights and behind the bumper
The SatNav aerial is tucked up above the rear view mirror, behind the Courtesy light

So unless you listen to AM Stations you may as well put a Unicorn horn on the rear wing for all the difference it will make !

That does make an awful lot of sense. When i listen to talksport the reception is terrible but FM stations are ok. It almost makes me wonder if i should buy a whippy and go all "retro" with the look.
