Guys -

is it me but my old decommission X6 M PERFORMANCE SPOILER seems to fit just right on the Gran Coupe.... I dont know but i think it's a perfect fit..... Now the question is does it look good. I may need to tape it temporally and seat on a chair for a couple of minutes and observe every angle to decide.

I may be going cheap lately and i'm tricking my mind into liking it so that i don't shed $400 on the M6 spoiler.

What do you guys think?? Keep in mind its just sitting on top (not double sided taped).

X6 M Performance Spoiler:

Get the M6 spoiler and put a layer of real carbon fibre on it... Perfect fitment and it looks great! Might have to wait a bit untill you can Order it for the GC.
I did the same to my F13

As I mentioned in another thread.... check first before ordering. I do not think the M6 spoiler fits the GC's?? I did install it on our 650i however and looks great.! Good Luck

IMHO... as you have pictured........... does not look good to me??

Hey Rush, do you have pics of your Carbon Fiber wrapped spoiler on your F13?? Considered that as our car is also Carbon Black...... I had the spoiler painted as I felt the CF effect would get lost in the darker colors?? Let's see what you have.

Its an easy mistake to make looking at the rear. The location of the centre brake light is the tell tale sign though. On the GC its under the roof rather then on the tailgate. I think it looks better the way its done on the GC, but they've left it like this on the coupe to keep symmetry with the convertible (obviously you couldn't locate it there on the convertiBle).

I don't really like spoilers, but here are some pics of the soon to be released alpina GC. You could probably order this spoiler when it comes out.
