Happy to be corrected, but I believe the OEM M Sport spoiler is only for the F32, which has a different boot shape to the F36 - therefore I don't think it'd fit your F36.

As far as I'm aware, the only OEM rear spoiler available for the F36 is the carbon fibre M Performance option.

Thanks for the info, good to know. Yea aware it was F32 only but thought they could be made to fit, although read that on a post ages ago so not 100% sure it, or my memory's correct. Really hard to find a subtle spoiled for an F36!

Just came here to say THANK YOU for the write up and inspirations for future mods- Your car looks stunning! I've just picked up 2017 430i GC Estoril Blue / Oyster. Already did XHP stage 2 and MG Flasher stage 1 + some other small things. Next on the list is lowering it just like you did.

No worries!

I've had the ACS springs on for a while now, overall pretty happy with them, the lowering amount is perfect for a daily driver.

Just a heads up, I find them quite under damped in comfort or eco mode though, sports mode is fine. I made a post about it here with some more info:
Adaptive shocks and permanent sports mode (F36)

Different car altogether, but on my previous F31 340i had ACS springs and while much better than standard the OEM dampers (non adaptive) just were not up to the job, so fitted the matching ACS sports suspension dampers, made all the difference. Would recommend this.

Now have the 540i with ACS (front as rear is air) although a great improvement I agree that the OEM adaptive dampers are not good enough. Comfort / adaptive / sport... none of the settings are ideal. Wish I had 4 springs & 4 dampers matched to the springs at least it would be consistant.
usher221 Maybe consider the dampers in your mods too, depending on your mileage they may be past their best?

Must have been produced before the LCI production took place which was around February 2017.

Damn bruh should've waited a month for dem sweet LCI lights & IDrive.
So for F36 BMW changed the engine in 2015 together with F30 LCI but they waited 2 years to change the rest of the car? They must have had mad stock of pre LCI parts!!
