Can anyone CONFIRM that it's only double-sided tape? That would really help me out.

Here this good enough? Just tape... heat it up and dental floss it off just like the badges... little harder than I made it but its do-able. Dont give up the car just because of the spoiler... Sell it or give it away here. ericd wants it...

It is *indeed* double sided tape. I have confirmed this.

But can you remove it without any damage to the trunk ?
Not sure, not a risk the dealer is willing to take. Not sure how they install it. Either epoxy glue or double sided tape.

Typically with double sided tape. Please verify with dealer.

Thanks for the info, but that's the lip spoiler. The one shown in the pictures is a heavier spoiler.

I personally don't like them at all. I do however like the little lip that comes on the M5. It's all personal preference.
I would agree I am not crazy about the look on the picture you showed maybe it's the color with that spoiler I don't know, but I do like the lip spoiler it looks a lot cleaner and it kind of looks like it belongs.

I gotta tell you, I love the looks of that spoiler, but thats just my opinion. I priced it my dealer who wanted me to ante up $650.00 for buying and installation. I'm still loooking aropund for a cheaper price. The decision is up to you, but a deal breaker, I don't think so.
