First off, it seems like this is a pretty popular mod. I have a 2007 328xi and just figure it would look nice on the car. Opinions?

Here's some of the ones available:

1. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...Q5fAccessories

2. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...Q5fAccessories

3. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...Q5fAccessories

I'd love to know all your thoughts!

Thanks for your input.


ON EDIT:

Also, there is this style: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...Q5fAccessories

One style more popular than the other?

Get it through one of the sponsors on the forum! I've personally dealt with JBSPEED and have no complaints at all. Check out the sponsor classifieds.

Unless they are similarly priced, I have to go to the people with the best price.

I also highly recommend JBSPEED for any of your purchases, send him a PM, check the classifieds section or check out his website.

JBspeed is pretty good.

Also, I would change the title, as its a spoiler and not a lip. People might get excited if they think theres a lip out for the rep M3 bumpers.

OP, the third link you posted appears to have some sort of E92/E46 hybrid lip spoiler when you look at the photos. It looks bad. Try one of the first two sellers.

JBSpeed: $165 shipped
eBay: $60 shipped

Very high likelihood of it being the same product from the same factory, as well. Both are coming from Taiwan.

Eh. it's still nice to support the forum vendors.

[dman918]

OK, changed to spoiler. Thanks for the input thus far. Is the consensus that the first options is better than the forth (within my first edit)?

Thanks again!

It comes down to personal preference, in the end, it's your car and you have to live with it, so get something you like! Both are popular spoilers on the forum, you'll find them all over the place.

If you want my two cents though, personally, I'd go with the m3 lip spoiler, just because it looks less bulky and it's a bit more subtle.

[dman918]

I think I am a bit drawn the the m3 style, but I wouldn't mind seeing the other style in some more pics.

Don't think that I'm trying to push JBSPEED's products on you, I'm not, it's just that it was the easiest way to find some pics of the second spoiler. Here's the link.

[dman918]

I didn't think that. Thanks so much for the link. Hmmmm... Both look good. Difficult choice.

[qclik]

i would go with the ebay one, they are just from one of the many manufacture in taiwan that supply many vendor here. i order my spoiler for vendor here for 200+- and the package come with the receipt from the manufacturer and it is only $60, u do the math.

[dman918]

I guess the question now is which style?

[B-737]

just my 2 cents, so feel free to leave it. you're attaching this thing to your car permanently, you're going to look at it closely every time you wash your car too...

spend the extra $ and go with Genuine BMW.
I purchased from a vendor here and did not have a good experience with the quality. it was junk, most notably the finish, was awful. Not one, but two.

link to photos below

its worth the extra few bucks to have a BMW part finished in a BMW Paint shop... I got my (third one) from Patrick at Faulkner BMW in Lancaster. it was at my door step finished (perfectly) within 2 weeks and was only about an extra $100 more. im glad i stayed the course, but in the end its your car and your dollar. post some pictures when its all done

[dman918]

The one you received looks awful!

[dwells]

Yeah, I hope you got a refund. Mind telling us the vendor so we can avoid them?

[B-737]

It was resolved by issuing a full refund after the second one, because of that I don't feel like it's good form to post the name. Pm me if u want though. I will say that it was a vendor from here supplying the part from Asia.

The part I got from BMW came from Germany, and was finished at Faulkner BMW in PA, also right through this forum.

A world of difference.

That narrows it down to every sponsoring vendor on the forum, haha.

Pm on the way
