The E90 and E91 have totally different roofline profiles, therefor each car requires a slightly different shark fin mold so that the bottom of the fin will mate up evenly with the roof sheetmetal.
Different molds made at different times will most likely be different shapes as the designers tweek the parts here and there. |

Hey JamieA! Nice fin! How's the new baby treating you?
I had a business call this morning with some folks down under... thought of my friends here (of course it was midnight there).

Hey Ledzep!
New baby is treating me very well thanks. She is starting to open up and give me her best, amazing that after 700 odd kms I can feel a difference in engine response. Interestingly enough it is the ladies that notice the fin first and ask the most questions about it Hope the Aussies were awake enough, the country is in rapture after winning the soccer match against Uraguay. I know with me being a night owl it would be easy to forget we are normally asleep when you are awake...

I noticed another use for the fin the other day.
To spot where you parked. I couldn't see my car and then as I glanced over the cars, I noticed a little fin sticking out--there's my baby! note: isn't very helpful when there are a bunch of SUVs around.

You had me worried there for a minute that you are one of those "shark fin creationist" people, insisting that they didn't evolve but that God created each shark fin just as it is, and that each one is so very special, and that even the shark fins at the factory that don't quite come out right still have a right to live and be installed on a car and shouldn't be thrown away or recycled in any way.... Whew.
