What's wrong with the M Performance one?

But if you're intent on F80 style, the CF version is coming soon here: http://www.autotecknic.com/product_p/bm-0260.htm

I was looking for the same thing but ended up with this.

I didn't like how the M Performance had a groove in the middle. picky picky

I'm glad I got sick of waiting and went with the M Performance style. The F80 spoiler looks too small IMO on the F30 looking at the pics in the link 2 posts above by teaston

The one twincam23 went with is more like it! I'll stick with my M performance style though

Finally found an OEM one at around for USD$250 (paint and installation inclusive). I was a bit disappointed with it because it is not as subtle as i expected it to be. The angle is still a bit too high for me. If anyone is looking for a subtle look, look elsewhere.

Dude thats very subtle already

I like

I don't know how much more subtle you can get. Looks great.

This tint is what I am looking for, do you remember which % and brand is it?

BTW nice spoiler

You're replying to a thread that was last updated 4 years ago. You may get lucky with a relevant response, but don't hold your breath

Holy thread resurrection, but is there any option other than BMW for this part ? A confirmed eBay-special for example?

There are a few on eBay that claim to be identical to the F80 spoiler (for less than $100).

Rather than roll the dice, I waited around and looked hard for an OEM F80 takeoff stock spoiler. You should be able to source for $150 or less including shipping. The tough part is finding the correct color.

I paid about $120 total for a BSM painted one.

Yeah, rolling the dice is what I'm worried about with these ebay ones, especially if I have to return it if it's crap. There are a few genuine ones and I suppose I can get one repainted...

If prepared to go with a copy, try the seller emotors2000 on eBay.
I recently got a m performance style painted spoiler from them for my F30, came from Taiwan and both colour match and fit are perfect.
They may do the one you are looking for?

[drdino]

Thanks for the suggestion, I've dropped them a note to see if they can do Individual colours for my F30.

Finally got a small lip spoiler for my F30; is it a requirement to adjust the spring tension for the tailgate once it's installed? I see Newtis has different settings for with/without a spoiler fitted... I am not even sure it's needed as it's quite light, but then again the moment it produces might affect the mechanism, I suppose I'll have to install it and see!

[pwaf13]

I found that even the small lip spoilers stop the boot opening efficiently, but removing the warning triangle and stowing in the underfloor compartment solved that. Interested to hear about Newtis settings, do you have a link please?

[drdino]

Yeap, here's the bit I am talking about:

TBF I am not sure if it's applicable to all MYs, I haven't taken the trim panels out to check whether the different detents are there...

[pwaf13]

That’s really useful, thank you

[pwaf13]

This worked an absolute treat, no tools needed or panel removal, just peeled back the corners and moved the mounting point and job done. Thanks again for highlighting this!

[drdino]

Yeah, had a look last night (peeled the trim back, as you mentioned) and it's quite straightforward.
