Improving my rear end.

[sammyz]

I've been looking at ways to improve the car's rear end. I think we all agree the back view is the most 'challenging' on the e89. :lol:
I'm not convinced the rear m sport bumper is an improvement over the se. I might try wrapping the lower section on my se in black c.f.to see how it looks. The car may get an m sport front bumper this spring as I do think they look more aggressive.
My other thought is a subtle boot spoiler, not some GT3 replica ironing board but a thin c.f. type. I'd leave it black to match the other black bits I've added already. Might look good on a silver car. Anyone on here fitted one? I've seen a couple on E bay might be ok.

Be careful what you add on, I think it would be very easy to make it look tacky :?

I don't deny it Fred, it's just a shame they're so dated and drab from the front. Suits you a treat mate :lol: oke:

I have a small boot lip spoiler installed on my E89 and really like it, fitted over Xmas.

Can come in carbon fibre style or undercoated (I went for undercoated and then painted black). Fitment is pretty good for an eBay special, delivery was 2 weeks and manufacturer in China emailed through different stages. Attaches via 3m automotive tape, have used before and is very solid, I wouldn't bother drilling (have fitted boot spoilers to my previous BMWs).

Very crap photo from last week, can take a better one if you want. The rest of the car is dirty bar the spoiler and surrounding area so colour doesn't look exact match - it is.

Have you looked at the color coded msport rear bumper OP? Came on the 35IS

Looks ace in real life.

The E85 is what's known as classic dear boy oke:
The front end of the E89 does look much better than the Rsend of it

Interesting thoughts. I considered a black 'band' of very fine mesh vinyl on the bootlid between the rear lights. A little like ferrari. It would probably widen the rear view .

I removed my rear valance and sprayed it black to break it up a bit

Corrected that for you.

I think a debadged rear is all thats need on the Z4 along with nice shiney tailpipes

 

[flybobbie]

I put the M sport rear on my car and I don't like it, looks odd like part of the bumper is missing, like the above pic.

 

[sammyz]

Like the spoiler Rockford I also like the colour coded m sport bumper. Some good ideas to think about.
I will probably try the spoiler in the spring and see how it looks.

 

[Busterboo]

Would matt be better, perhaps?

 

[ibroker]

No my wheels and mirror caps are gloss so it follows the theme.

I agree , much prefer the SE rear end but love the M sport front

Got to come our fighting here in defence. Pictures don't do it justice. Being orange and black there's a big colour contrast that comes into play that would not necessarily work on other cars with a slightly less distinct flavour or colour choice. Aside from white I don't think any other colour would work.
