Opinion on rear spoiler, M5 or AC type?
I am debating what type of rear spoiler to get for my 545i. I am leaning towards the AC type. I have a Sapphire Black with full M-tech kit. I am also considering the roof wing but don't want to go overboard. What are your thoughts? Anyone grab one off of Ebay with success? I am going to try to post a current image of my car.

I just ordered an AC style spoiler from fresh.concept on ebay. The price was $138 painted to match and shipped from a US seller, not from Taiwain like some of the less expensive options. I'm not knocking the ones from Taiwain as I've read good experiences others have had with them. I'd just rather pay more for one from a US seller.
In my opinion the AC style has a nicer look than the M5 style but you really can't go wrong with either.

It's a personal preference... which one do you like better? I don't have anything against either.. I would say the M5 trunk spoiler is more classic, and the AC style spoiler is more aggressive. Again, you can't go wrong with either.

I've had both, and am currently rolling with the M5(rep) spoiler from trinity. It looks really nice, but I think I prefer the ACS spoiler. The tricky part is finding a one that fits well. My old one didn't fit that great. Let me know if you find a company that make a good fitting ACS rep spoiler.

I have the RD Sports (more aggressive than ACS). Anyways, just don't "permanently" glue it on your trunk lid. When you change up to Quad with certain diffuser, certainly spoiler will not look right, all together.
Have fun.
