Just depends on what you want.

Not all of the reps are made the same way. My rep -
not this one from Ebay - looks identical to the M-Performance version (..
it's just not carbon fiber).

But then you may well have the last laugh when in a year or two time, our reps start peeling and falling off! 
Also has anyone noticed the new M3 lip is different? It looks actually smaller and more subtle to the M Performance one! |
If it starts to peel and fall off, that's more of an issue with the tape you used rather than the spoiler itself.
P.S. The new M3 trunk spoiler -
just like all OEM M3 trunk spoilers - is subtle. The E9X or E46 trunk spoiler is preferable, but differences in trunk shape made considering them an unviable option.

You'd have a hard time differentiating between an OEM trunk spoiler and a good rep (..
assuming the paint job was done well).
