My Ride: 2006 Silver Grey 550i (est delivery 12/06) Auburn / Poplar Interior / Anthracite headliner M body aero kit/ sport/ sound/ comfort access/ comfort seats/ sunshade/ sat radio
Default

I just ordered a 550i with the M body kit. I did not get the spoiler but am thinking maybe I should add it on. Does anyone have pics of their cars with the rear spoiler from BMW as offered on the accessory page? When I do see a spoiler I like, I cannot tell if it is the same one? Thanks

I think the only spoiler option from BMW NA is the one shown on the website ... which is a wing-type, not a lip-type (as on the M5).

I'd say order the M Kit and get an aftermarket lip spoiler.

I also have a 550 with aero kit coming, personally I think any wing takes away from the great look of this car.

This is the better picture... Hope this helps you make your decision... They add a bit more to the trunk.. without it, it looks kinda empty... over here in Thailand.. the spoiler actually costs around 900 USD... Everything is pretty much 3 times the real price... Good luck... Cheers..

Get the M5 style rear spoiler. It goes very nicely with the M Sport bodykit. The wing style spoiler doesn't match the lines of the M Sport.

Hmm. My always uninformed and unreliable sales rep told me that the m aero kit spoiler is the one with the gap between the bottom and the top of the spoiler, like the photo posed above by 525iSE. Could USA specification be different than South Africa?

I ordered the M Sport, but didnt bother with the boot spoiler, opting instead for the ACS rear set...see pic
