I ordered and installed the bumper antenna for my '04 w/assist. It works great. The P/N I ordered is for a OEM hirschmann antenna for GSM/PCS phones, it was different than the P/N listed at realoem.com, which I think is the Euro part... The good P/N is 84-11-1-470-326 and retail is $63.75. I also ordered the FAKRA to mini UHF cable/adapter 84-32-0-143-162 which was not needed (If anyone needs one let me know).
Here is the article on my installation -

Coverage is very good here in Eastern Massachusetts so I disconnected the antenna port from the Snap-in Adapter and use it to hold the phone and to charge it. The V600 works great with the BMW Bluetooth System.
Still waiting for BMW and Palm to make the Treo 650 work. I have one and I would love to use it with the X5.
