I've just gone into the Service Menu and got "GPS Status: Check Antenna" too.
I've had a look at replacement parts and can't find a definitive part code but it looks like the G range (G01 - X3, G30 - 5 series) all use the same electronics platform for comms and nav. Pricing from ebay seems to be around £65 for reclaimed units but not had a chance to get a dealer supply and fit price yet.

I just checked and the X3 is not listed down for the part I fitted. It has a different part number. The dealer should be able to advise which one you need... It depends on the options/spec you have that will determine which part number you need for the antenna. Have a look on realoem.com - that should be helpful and you might be able to work it out from there.
These are a few of the antenna part numbers listed for an X3 G01...

If it were me, I'd just buy a new one rather than a reconditioned one... just for piece of mind and less hassle if it turns out to be faulty or goes wrong in a few months or so.
