Installed the spoiler today! It took about 45 minutes and was relatively easy to install. It came well packaged; overall the fit/finish of the product would be a 7.5/10. Generally really happy and the customer service from Bimmer Performance was top notch.

 

Looks good. Did you remove the bumper cover to install it?

 

How much $$... and where to buy?

 

That looks sweet. I hope they come out with a aero kit version... For the aero kit that I don't have yet

 

Did you try a Google search for Bimmer Performance ?

 

Looks very nice.

I wonder if it will become a snow plow in the winter. That is the thing that would keep me from getting one.

 

Actually Bimmer is a vendor here on this site. Go to the Vendor Directory.

 

Did you mean to say that fit/ finish was only 75%? For the kind of money they charge for those, they better be perfect!!!

 

Finally took some pics of mine (took from phone camera, so quality is not super good) ...

 

Looks good with the aero skirt combo

 

Wow I honestly dont like the look of it. I dont know why but something about it just screams ugly at me. Not trying to flame or anything but I would have gone with m7 splitter.

 

Ah.. just got my posting rights back!

I was pretty sure I would have to but upon further investigation, I was able to pull it off without removing the bumper.

It's a little hard to explain but...

There are two large bolts that drive from the bottom of the spoiler vertically through the front bumper (plastic portion, must be drilled). The problem most experience is being able to place the backing which consists of a washer and locking nut from the top portion of the bumper which there is little access to secure the bolts. I was able to pull the plastic back and stick a wrench in the small opening over the nut and tighten using a torx wrench from the bottom.

That probably did not make sense at all but probably would with a diagram. Main thing is that it IS definitely possible without removing the bumper.

 

Overall it wasn't bad but there was some minor pitting on the underside and the finish looks so so. The major plus is that i have not had one rock chip yet! It's extremely durable and fits the bumper well. I gave it a 75% based on overall value...

 

That looks freakin amazing, now all you need is the rear roof spoiler .

 

Is your grill dark silver?

 

I really like it but just can't get by the Uber$$$ for the plastic one...

 

No, it is OEM chrome, but I did think about putting black.

 

nice photos...i went with a d.u.z. from japan which i like because it mounts securely under the bumper to the supports for the radiator and doesn't extend the length of the car...it's a lot harder to install, but it can handle the occasional snowplow (reality tested)...mscmike, all lips are a little ugle unless it's a garbino...i think that's part of the purpose...it's unique, it makes the car a little less cute and it may have some function, so aesthetics take a back seat
