Iordered mine from Spoiler Depot in Florida, perfect knock off oem m style spoiler and color match was bang on ( a/p). Cost was around 250 usd . Application was not bad,but if you are not handy get a body shop or the Dealer to install. It really is the finishing touch for the MSport .

BTW I am adding a roof spoiler as well

Cheers

Here are two side-by-side comparison photos of the AC Schnitzer and M Tech rear spoilers on a black car.

So vegas your saying NO to all. Went with 50% tint with your recommendation and happy with it. Kinda feel as though I should consider your opinion.

Thanks.

No, no. I was just playing around with ECF. He isn't biting. I used to have the M rear lip spoiler. It would set off your 08 550i just right. By all means do get the lip spoiler.

As you can see from my sig below I took off the lip spoiler b/c the double-sided tape used to secure it was not tight. I never got around to putting it back on and decided to sell it to torquey5. I have another spoiler I'm going to get. You'll see it in a few weeks. IMO, it looks just as good as the M rear lip spoiler.

Any spoiler VT gets is gonna look like crap. It's his car. You start with crap, you end with crap.

Should I say what spoiler you're getting Joe or will I be stealing your thunder?
