Finally! You can find the spoiler aftermarket online. When i got it for my GC i payed $600 for the M6 version because car was too new to the market. I'm replacing it with aftermarket. I'm no way i'm paying $600 for an accessory that doesn't add any performance to the car but looks.

I just hope it doesn't get stolen again. I suspect a pass-by BMW owner was stalking it for a while to steal it.

Wtf? People still key cars in the US? Weird how in Taiwan that hardly happens, I guess we have enough scratches from driving alongside scooters/mopeds and through some tight alleys.

ARAM, sorry to see what happened. What part of NY are you parking on the street?!? I know parking is so damn expensive there...Also, did you say you have 433s on your 640 GC? Can you post some pics? I was thinking of doing the same but wondering if you have to modify in any way?

That thing should be parked in a garage, if you live in Manhattan. I was born and raised on the Upper West Side and have seen that neighborhood go through many great changes, but a car like that parked on the street sticks out way too much.

I got the 433 2 weeks ago and i have yet not taken any photographs due because traveling. BTW - The rear tires are really staggering and wide. Sometimes rear tire rub-off with the car underneath fabric/plastic stuff.

I cannot look at this picture without laughing. I feel bad for the owners, but it just looks like a sick bug.

Just pick these wheel locks from BMW. Are these the new design for wheel locks? They look really nice compare to the other design i had on my X6 and 5 Series.
