Proper Friday Afternoon Question...

rogerxp · 09-19-2008, 09:54 AM

Been wondering ever since getting my car whether the boot spoiler is standard or an optional extra - anyone know.

I've seen loads of other E90 M Sports but not all have this spoiler. Then again, it might just be my eyes, and maybe there is no difference.

I've got a 330d by the way. I've never seen a spoiler on the options list so I'm confused. Others certainly seem to have a 'lip' but mine seems bigger - haven't parked next to another to compare.

Oh, I've just realised you're all going to start shouting 'BLACKLINES' at me aren't you!!!!

BLACKLINES!!!!

No it's not standard, it's an "accessory" so not in the options list as such.

Dealer-fit option, afaik.

What's the difference between 'option' and 'accessory'??? Seems strange to seperate them like that.

Options are fitted at the factory as part of the build, accessories are fitted by the dealer as an after-market item.

Good answer. You've past the 'Friday Afternoon' test!!!

I have one of those for sale if anyone's interested - OEM BMW item primed not painted.

Bought it for my old E90 but never got round to fitting it!!

PM if interested

As above really....Dealer option.

I have said spoiler also. I've also noticed not many other E90's have it
