I received the new antenna from EAS today. I plugged it in and stuck it to the roof with the cable out the passenger window, backed out of the garage and it started to work right away.

I then had to find a place to mount it. I removed the rear spoiler and found that it is all metal underneath it, but the antenna won't fit under the plastic.

Plan B. Mounted it on the dash near the passenger A-pillar like in my E90 and went for a drive. No issues with it in this location and the wipers didn't bother it like the E90. I installed the cable under the carpet all the way back to the rear and connected it up. Everything work a like a charm!

I hope this helps others.
