I'm a step away from ordering the M-tech aero kit along with the trunk finisher. I'm trying to decide if I should get the lip spoiler. Now would be the time so that everything would be painted at once, and probable a little more cost effective. What do you guys think of it? I know its mainly personal opininon but I truly can't decide. I have an alpine white 545 with OEM 166's so I guess it would go with the M5 theme. Sorry...it's kind of a lame ? but i've been staring at pictures for hours and keep going back and forth. HELP!!!

If you mean the trunk spoiler, Yes definitely do it.

Do the M5 spoiler, much cleaner in my opinion.

Here is a close up....

Cheers,
A friend of mine is interested in this spoiler. How much are they going for? I might be making a call to Garry Romani at BMW of Newport for that 25% discount.

I have the same spoiler as bokke and they really look great , your price seems fair . See if you can get it painted and installed by a body shop. Who are you purchasing the spoiler from ?

That's for a replica, not OEM right? The OEMs usually cost more.

Its a good thing you live in CA =)

I also have a alpine white, 545i which is going in soon for a Mtech aero, and OEM 166 wheels, Ill share pics after.

Do you have a quad dual or single exhaust setup?

I would go for the spoiler, I think it adds character .

good luck !!
