Thanks everyone who has taken part in my previous polls!
I decided to rebadge the car when I get my matte black "530d" emblem.

Now it's time for a new one!
I ordered a trunk finisher for my car, and now I'm wondering if I needed a spoiler to finish the look...?
I already have a ACS style roof spoiler, but I don't want to go with the ACS trunk spoiler. I want to keep the rear quite simple, and I think I might have some problems at winter time with a relatively large spoiler like an ACS.

That's the reason why these are the choices in my poll. Sure you can vote for "Something else", but please explain it.
I am after a simple, slick look.

Thanks again!

Here's the "anynomous" spoiler to clarify:


And the present state again:


PS. I have looked different spoilers so much now and tried to consider different options that I need some help !

In the other post I said ACS to compliment the splitter and ACS roof spoiler, however if you after a slick / subtle finish, then its got to be the OEM M spoiler IMHO... which is what I voted for

(I had the M spoiler on my last E60, so I am biased towards that anyway )


Edit: Stop the Poll now, the M spoiler wins with 100% (ok, I'll stop putting junk in your post now )

I prefer the clean and subtle look of the M5 trunk spoiler.

Yeah thanks! I noticed you suggested the ACS earlier, and it looks good for sure, but I'm afraid I'd have to take it away for the winter because of the snow and ice and then reinstall it again at spring. That's a no-no for me...

Hi Anzafin,

I meant to click the OEM type but for some reason the anonymous was selected. Definately OEM in my opinion, I intend to get the OEM lip style not the H type.

Until this I've thought that M5 trunk spoiler and mtech spoiler are the same... Are they?

i wanted the m5 spoiler at first and then it kind of came to the point where i was like why would i even do that. I went with the acs and love it. look at my thread in this section and you can see pictures. I think the acs or rdsport is the way to go.

I read your thread and the spoiler is great, but you can see my reasons why I am not going for it. Thank you for your opinion anyway!

lol just kidding with this....

if you dont want it to be too much go with the m5 spoiler. If you get it on and dont like it, im sure you could unload it here. If you dont like the m5 when you get it on then you know you need to step it up to something different.

I went with the acs from a member here and got a used one that was already painted shipped to me for 125. Great deal. I saw in the classifieds a few rdsport ones and i think the m5 one. Try it out for a fraction of the cost and if you dont like it go with something else like i said.
