E86 spoilers?

[Argenta]

Hi all, what are my options for a decent fitting, not too expensive rear spoiler for my Coupe?

I know about the Bmw oem (exstinct?) and Skyers larger one (expensive). What more are there I should know of?

Maxton do one as well

I had the Maxton design on my coupe before selling it.

AC Schnitzer…but if you think the Skyer spoiler is expensive (mine was $540 shipped in 2017, and it lists for about $500 now), then don’t go looking for the ACS one (if you can even find one).

You do get quite a lot of spoiler for your money though

Double-posting muppet :headbang:

There’s also the aero-replica made by Carbon Production in Germany (resold by Burkhart Engineering). I have that fitted to my coupe, and I personally prefer it between the larger Skyer and slightly inexpensive feeling Maxton lip (though admittedly that also looks good).

That looks great Barty, altho it does seem to suffer from the usual misalignment/gap at the ends..?
(Maxton spoiler being softer ABS plastic probably fits tighter?)

Being an exact copy from the original, it does indeed suffer from the same issue. The ABS will definitely conform more readily to the panel. I’ve glued mine on, so you could fill the gap with that if done properly. I haven’t gotten round to that yet, but it doesn’t bother me much in reality

I fitted a Maxton (gloss black) to my coupe a few weeks. Very happy with it. Aligned well with the lines of the boot. Maxton had a 10% off sale for one evening in October so I got it for £131 shipped. I believe the Maxton is slightly larger than the OEM variant but it is not unsightly.

It is just a length of black plastic so the markup on these must be astronomical but far cheaper than a carbon one. Personally I don’t see a reason why carbon would be better than plastic in this application.

I’d recommend

Thanx Beesza! You have pictures of your car?

I have a Maxton sitting on the shelf, still haven't decided if I am going to mount it.
These pics are of it just sitting on the lid.
