Default Which wing is this?

I took my X5 for service at Tischer BMW and spotted this blue C4S with a wing on their lot. You can see the pictures below. I kind of like it! Any idea who makes it? Is it an original T-Equipement wing?

thanks,

It's actually called the Carrera wing. I have it and like it very much. I don't really like the one that goes up and down - it just seems gimmicky to me.

Actually I went to take a look at that car a few weeks back. Nice ride. Wing is Techart.

So does it bolt on to the existing deck lid? Is it reversible?

Manny, I could always be wrong! I gave it only a short look.
I believe it is revearsable. That was my question as well.

Nice car, it was a little too bling for me.

It is either Techart or the RUF or the Carrera? Not quite quite sure as it looks a little larger than my Carrera wing. They are very close but the RUF one is just a little bigger.

LOL. No that is a by-product of my crappy cell phone that tinges everything purple. The color was blue, I'd guess Lapis blue. It had the sport tekno wheels. Sharp looking car if anyone is looking for a C4S

Looks like EXACTLY the same wing to me...look at how its just a little wider than the decklid on both the C4S and your car.....

Yea, think you are right the more I look. No, does not move. You remove all the moving stuff and good luck putting it back together I am never going to try as I just ripped the old one out with no regard for re-assembly.
