The parts look right, the shape is perfect, and the fitment on my cf spoiler was spot on. Upon first inspection I thought it was slightly shorter than the real thing since it left about a 2-3mm gap on each side, but then I got a chance to compare it to an actual OEM one mounted on another 4 series, and even an original M4, and the dimensions are spot on...

But as always, low-price ebay and aliexpress items are a lottery. Mine fit perfect, most people's fit fine or perfect. Your's might not and that can easily turn into a nightmare of poorly translated back-and-forth emails between you and the seller to try and get your money back.
Yep. I've got about an hour until I get home and find out haha. Can't wait.

Aaaaaaaaaaand it doesn't fit.
Buuuut.... I'm pretty sure they sent an F82 fitment and not an F36 fitment.

But the quality looks good. I'll see how it lines up on my friends F32 tomorrow.

Well that sucks... I'm sorry to hear it.

How does it not fit? Curvature, length?

Not calling you stupid but keep in mind the M spoiler, not the M4 one, is supposed to be mounted ahead of the 45ishº bevel on the back of the trunk lid and not totally flush with the end.

Edit: Like so

The length is good. But curvature of both the whole structure and the recessed area that it mounts by.
I'll take some pics.

But thanks for the heads up! I may just go ahead and order the oem one.
