Proof Required?
BMW is settling a class action lawsuit over allegedly defective shark-fin antennas installed on certain 2019 and 2020 X-series vehicles. The lawsuit claims these antennas were prone to failure, potentially affecting GPS, radio, or connected services — and that BMW knew about the problem. As part of the settlement, BMW has agreed to reimburse owners and lessees for antenna-related repair costs and extend the warranty on the affected part. If you owned or leased a 2019 or 2020 BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, or X7 and paid out of pocket to repair or replace the shark-fin antenna, you may be entitled to money back. Repairs done at an authorized BMW dealer are covered at 100%, while repairs completed at a non-dealer shop are reimbursed up to $2,000. The deadline to file a claim is August 27, 2026, so it's worth checking your eligibility now. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the process and help you submit your claim in minutes.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You owned or leased a 2019 or 2020 BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, or X7 in the United States
  • Your vehicle was equipped with a shark-fin antenna (standard on these models)
  • You experienced issues with the shark-fin antenna and had it repaired or replaced, either at a BMW dealership or an independent repair shop
  • You have a Class Member ID (typically mailed or emailed to eligible owners) and supporting repair records
  • Both current owners/lessees and former owners/lessees who had qualifying repairs may be eligible

How Much Can You Get?

The amount you can receive depends on where you had the repair done. If you took your BMW to an authorized BMW dealership for the shark-fin antenna repair, you may be reimbursed for 100% of what you paid. If you used an independent or non-dealer repair shop, you can be reimbursed up to $2,000 for qualifying out-of-pocket repair costs. In addition to the cash reimbursement, the settlement includes a warranty extension on the shark-fin antenna for vehicles that haven't yet had a failure — meaning you're also protected against future repair costs. Keep in mind that final payout amounts may depend on the documentation you submit, so hanging on to your repair receipts is important.
