I have an '03 E39, which was the first year Bluetooth was avail. I added BT shortly after I bought the car...

I never got the cradle. The main reason is that they never made a cradle for my phone that fits the E39 BT kit. The benefit of the cradle is that it charges the phone. Depending on the phone, it may or may not use the sharkfin -- not all phones have an external antenna connection. I think most phones these days no longer have it -- so its probably not a huge benefit if all you're looking for is a bigger antenna...
