Should I get the M-Performance rear Carbon Spoiler? (Update: installed)

PIR3lly · 03-13-2017, 10:06 AM

A local BMW dealership still has an Original M-Performance rear spoiler laying around. I can get it from them for only €340,-

I haven't seen any carbon black F06 Gran Coupé with that spoiler mounted and I was wondering if I should get it?

Anyone have it and would like to post some pictures?

abstinent · 03-13-2017, 10:19 AM

had the same problem

after doing research I went for this https://directcartoys.com/2012-2017-...p-spoiler.html - the painted one - should arrive in a week or so.. I can post picures when its done, have exactly the same color carbon black - 416. On this car and color combo, IMHO the carbon part looks a little inappropriate, I believe that on white or silver it makes however sense..

PIR3lly · 03-13-2017, 10:33 AM

Hmm, difficult choice. But 340 euro's for an Original carbon spoiler is a good price.
I did own a carbon black e46 M3 a few years ago, that had a Carbon diffuser. It actually looked pretty good...

I'd pass. Two reasons:

- I'm not one for adding unnecessary aero parts. The 6 has beautiful, flowing lines, and the addition of this spoiler interrupts those lines. Plus, if I'm honest, I feel these bolt on parts cheapen the look of the car.

- If you're going to add a spoiler to a carbon black car, I'd get it in body color. The carbon against carbon black may look like an unintentional mismatch.

I went with a CF V style spoiler on carbon black. I was apprehensive initially as well because I always thought CF only looked good with contrasting colored cars....white, silver. After I installed it, it looked better than I thought especially now with other CF accent pieces. The M performance one is a little less aggressive, I believe. To each their own, I guess.

PIR3lly · 03-13-2017, 01:18 PM

Well, I might just get it for that price and do a test fit. If I like it, I'll install. If not, sell with profit...

Ndinh, what wheels do you have? They look good. Is it lowered?

I have Avant Garde M580's. They look good but they're cast so eventually I'll pick up a set of forged wheels in a year or so when the wife gives me the green light.

I'm lowered on H&R's. The drop isn't as low as I'd like (about 1 finger gap) but the ride isn't bad so I can live with it.

I got this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/F12-...608.0.0.4XdIY0

It's ok but if I were to do it again, I'd spend a little more and buy the 2 piece one below. The only thing about my diffuser is the part that is next to the inner tips do not go that far back so you see a gap between the inner exhaust tips and the diffuser. Not a huge deal but it still bugs me, nonetheless. Fitment was pretty good or as good as any replica chinese product can get, which always needs some diy work.

gotcha...thank you for getting back to me!

darms · 03-15-2017, 06:48 PM

Get it

I went a dealer a while back and got a test fit on my GC. It's a beaut and for the price you can't say no. I know if I was getting it at that price it would be on my car by now

This is what it looks like mate

jens0125@umn.edu · 03-24-2017, 10:54 AM

like the look personally with out spoiler , it has nice clean lines , spoiler may make it look like too much going on , imho

PIR3lly · 03-24-2017, 04:56 PM

Bought the spoiler because of it's great price.
Did a test fit and really liked it.

Now I just have to find some time to install it...

darms · 03-25-2017, 05:36 PM

Looks spot on.... out of interest what was the part number?

PIR3lly · 03-31-2017, 02:47 PM

Sorry for the late reply.
I think it is 51622327610, but I'd have to check to make sure...

abstinent · 04-20-2017, 02:43 AM

my rear OEM style lip
ordered painted- the paint was ok, but the lip had to be heated both sided to get it on..

MSUGOGRN · 04-20-2017, 01:49 PM

Looks great! Good fitment too. I am adding my v style CF on to my sapphire black car hopefully this weekend. I will post pics when its done.

Looking forward to seeing how it looks!

ndinh what about your v style spoiler? where did you get that?

PIR3lly · 04-24-2017, 01:23 PM

Well, today I finally got the time to install the spoiler.
I used 3M tape, because I didn't want a permanent install with betalink.

After some cleaning and fitting, I attached it to the car. Fitment wasn't perfect (although it was oem BMW), but it worked out.
Now let's hope it doesn't blow of the car at 250km/h
