Looks good but doesn’t fit properly. Sticks up in the middle about 3mm. Can be pushed down but don’t think the strong automotive double sided tape will hold it down. Will need to be machined.

Sorry, I am not keen.

Looks a bit cheap to me.

Personally I think the rear is so much better on the new model, better than my old 2015 when I really wanted a Techart spoiler.
I don't actually like the look of the car from the rear when the spoiler is up, (I have followed my biz part a few times to see - yet he likes it), because I don't like seeing all the black innards of the mechanism etc.
I would never leave it open at low speeds or stationary.
I understand its for handling that the airflow is blocked, but would look so much better if the spoiler opened and there was an airflow gap under it.

When I added a lip spoiler to my 640d the paint shop guy had same problem with it raising in the middle.
He glued it and taped it until glue had set - I think he uses Gorilla glue.



As you can see, I am not against mods.

On the fence, I might like it more if it was body colored, not a fan of the carbon on a sedan personally but to each their own of course. My car is black and even then I'm not sure I'd do carbon on it (likely not).
