I finally installed my M-Tech trunk lid spoiler and thought that I would share some pictures. I am still waiting to receive the M Aero kit, after which I would have to have it painted and install it myself. So it is going to be a while before that happens. Meanwhile here's the car with just the trunk lid spoiler.

By the way, as you will see from the pictures the spoiler is NOT solid inside. It is actually like a hollow shell. It is attached to the trunk with double stick tape. Here are the pics:

I took re-delivery of my car from my California dealer in early January and still have not received my California plates yet. I like the look of the German plates, so on all my Euro delivery cars I have always kept the German plates while waiting for the California plates. After that I only put the California plates on the back and keep the German export plate on the front. Right now I have the California temporary registration paper on the rear window until I get the plates.

Nice detailed pics!

Was there a raised BMW seal with numbers on the underside of the spoiler?
In case i buy one i'll know if it's a "fugazy" or not.

I bought it in London on a recent trip. It came in a cardboard box that I was able to check in on the flight back. I think it cost something around 110 GBP. At the time the Pound was equal to $2....so about $220. I think the exchange rate is more favorable now.
