After changing my mind on an aero spoiler I'm after something different, perhaps a bit bigger. If anyone has any non oem spoilers fitted I'd love to see them!

Did BMW ever fit a rear spoiler to the E85, or are they all aftermarket purchases?

Isn’t a spoiler on a convertible a bit pointless, beyond personal aesthetics?

There's an oem aero spoiler, although I'm not a huge fan. Think I might trigger some people and go for something a little bigger :fuelfire:
 
My rear spoiler debate topic/thread highlights the divide of owners adding a spoiler to their cars.

I purchased one 6 years ago, had it sprayed and it's still in the loft gathering dust.... I'm still in the 'is it really required club' - does it really add anything?

The coupe lends itself more to a rear spoiler in all fairness but it's a marmite subject for the roadster...
 
Just a small lip spoiler that I've had painted.

Got the carbon aero lip on mine, which I personally feel really compliments the green well especially paired with the carbon diffuser. I do agree with the sentiments above: the coupe lends itself to a spoiler more than the roadster, but the latter already has a distinctive ducktail-like lip on the boot

Thing with plans is: if done properly and with quality materials to a decent standard, you may split opinions but the work is usually respected hugely. Create a cardboard abomination with ill-fitted items and the sharks may start circling :lol:

For one, I’m curious to see what you’ve got planned now! :thumbsup:
