Hello everyone, I hold the opinions on this forum very highly and would like to run a question by you all.
I just got my ride back from BMW with the M Aero kit installed and I think the car looks great. I am now contemplating putting on a roof spoiler on the car (Bimmian.com AC replica) and would like to know if that is over the top or if it's still within the realm of the e60's DNA of "Sports Elegance"? I would also appreciate your opinion of the best lip spoiler to compliment the roof spoiler if you believe they should be installed.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I love the way a rear deck mounted spoiler looks but think that a roof spoiler is kind of silly. It reminds me of those eyebrow things that they made for E36 & E46. It just looks something that's glued on the car for no obvious reason.

Sorry, I don't like it but maybe it's my age (30)...
I'd be worried about more (wind)noise too when driving on the Autobahn.

Has anyone with a roof spoiler installed experienced any additional wind noise?
I use to have one and no noise whatsoever.
