Trunk spoiler on a convertible?
I see that the trunk spoilers - BMW's and aftermarket's are listed for F06/F13's only. Is there a reason why they aren't compatible with the F12's? (convertibles)

It does look amazing .. but you will have to camo the imperfection as the deck lid is slightly different!!!! The spoiler will lift a little at the leading edge ... car is more Rare than the coup and GC .. thus no one really makes a perfect fit .. SUCKS!!!!

It is a slight compromise ... Not sure anyone makes a cab specific spoiler Par for course I guess as I had to get down pipes and akrapovic evo exhaust to get a good exhaust tone for 2016 M6 cab ... Or intakes and eisenmann sport exhaust for 2007 M6 ... Let down by BMW ... And I have had two M6 cabs and one 330 XI Never had such an issue with 2 S63 AMGs and one S450 Benz for parts/accessory fitting or need to replace a new exhaust to get a nice note. �� Although I do love the M6 cabs ... after market and bmw perf parts bin deck lid spoilers that are cab specific don't seem to be avail, due to lower production runs on the cabs likely. luckily this may be the only one hick-up ... as there are other accessories that will fit the full line of M6 cars Only point, all-0be-it a minor one ... Had to always compromise or spend more money to fix a problem as I saw it (upgrade exhausts, find the right cab specific spoiler or make due with whats avail) ... Even after a $170k bill for new factory orders ... BUT THAT IS PART OF THE COST OF ADMISSION, AND ADDS A BIT TO THE EXCITEMENT OF DOING MODS, and can make your car very unique ... A BIT OF A MIXED BLESSING! ALL PART OF THE ADDICTION AND SICKNESS! Last edited by 2007 to 2016 M6 Cab; 07-16-2015 at 08:39 AM.. |

Thanks for the info! Are you saying the akrapovic exhaust for the M6 doesn't fit for the convertible as well? I was thinking about changing to akrapovic or m performance.
Also, do you have the windscreen for your convertible? If so, do you need to remove it when you put the top back up? Reason why I'm asking is that I want the windscreen but I don't want to keep having to fold it back whenever I'm closing the top. Thanks! |

the Akra evolution exhaust for the M6 cab fits and is the BMW Perf Parts M exhaust for the M6 Cab as well but with BMW specific tips ... it fits perfect However I did the Akra evo with CF tips as it was $1500 Canadian less than the BMW Akra with the BMW specific tips that is in the BMW Perf Bin for the M6 Cab. I was just venting that to get a nice exhaust note ... with BMW M cars for the cost of admission, we still have to ditch out $$$ to fix the exhaust sound enginerring problem on their end ... not so with Mercedes AMG series cars ... all the other accessories fit ... just the deck lid spoiler for the cab is not made by anyone so we have to make due ... I saw a 2016 650 GC today with the same BMW perf Parts spoiler at the dealer today .. perfect fit and the leading edges down and inline with the trunk fold ... not like the picture I sent above. I got carried away and vented a little ... sorry most BMW Perf Part accessories are a perfect fit and most aftermarket ones ... just the deck lid. As for the wind screen, my car came with it from the factory .. still in bag as I have booster seats for my 2 boys in the rear ... picture before thhe BMW Perf Part M6 CF deck lid spoiler hope this helps .. the spoilers area close fit ... need some camo work for them to look good.
