Yes, so I finally got around to taking some pics of this E61 mod. The spoiler was painted with my mirrors, but not installed until Tuesday.
My reaction to it is... Meh. Was it worth the money? Nope.
Yes, it adds something to the boring (IMHO) end of the roof line, but I think that it is almost too small. I like the version that I had my E39 Touring much better.
Anyway, here are two pics - again, please ignore the dirty rear glass - please feel free to add any comments. Assuming that you have any!
EDIT: I can only seem to get one pic uploaded. I will try the other one later.

Moi,
whole car pic from side please. Where did you buy it and what price?
Did you notice any difference to rear window getting dirty?

I bought it from K?nig Oy in Helsinki (Lauttasaari): www.konig.fi
They had to order it from Germany, so it took 2 weeks to get here.
It cost (please sit down when you read this) 391? delivered. It is a lot cheaper in Germany, but ACS won't send anything here - you have to go through their dealer, i.e., K?nig.
I had it painted with my mirrors, and that cost 150? (mirrors and spoiler). Installation at Metro Auto was 110? and they had the car indoors for 36 hours. It takes 24 hours for the epoxy to dry completely at around +18?C.
It does NOT make any difference in how clean or dirty the rear window is. The same was true with the much bigger E39 Touring rear roof spoiler - no difference.
