My Ride: 525d M Sport Gunmetal Grey
Just wanna say thanks guys for your opinions negative and positive.. was unsure when i placed it on the car hence asking you guys on the forum. Looked good in the pic and the price was a bargain thats why i bought it.. still undecided on what to do but i guess thats my decision. Id love to buy the M5 lip spoiler but as ive got my first kid on the way not sure i really wanna spend that kind of money on the car as of yet.. only had the car over a month. If i fit the spoiler would it be easy to remove in the future? I purchased the adhesive yesterday from BMW its called betalink k1.. thanks again guys.

Easy to remove ?? Well judging by how long it took me to remove the residual bits from the one I bought second hand - I would say NOT !

It's very easy to remove the spoiler from the car. Simply heat up the adhered areas with a hairdryer and you can use dental floss to "saw" it off. Then use some Goo Gone. With only two relatively small contact patches, this will take 15 minutes tops.
Getting the other bits off the spoiler is another story--it's a PITA since you don't have the surface area.
