need help with RDC retrofit

Hello.

I have had a project on my plate for a few years but unfortunately, with moves from country to country, I was not able to concentrate my efforts on the actual installation. I managed, however, to get the parts needed for the install.

The retrofit I am talking about is the one that is using the RF senders from each rim and receiving antennae in the wheel wells.

I would like to ask any member on this board, who has the system already fitted (from factory, or retrofitted to factory specs), if they could either take photos or describe in detail the mounting locations for the antennae inside the wheel wells. I have taken the wheels off, removed the plastic shrouds, and still was not able to see if there were any locations where I could install the antenna holders. It could be that I need to drill holes for the holders but for some reason I suspect that the sheet metal or the other metal parts would have either actual mounting holes or pre-punched locations identified, even if the car never had the option installed.

None of the searches that I have done show those locations - I even ended up with my own parts lists (from my old posts) quoted on some Greek beemer page... lol..

If the project is a go, i will post the DIY along with the parts list.

Thank you folks!!!
