"If" one was to install an M3 rear Spoiler..would

CWINMA · 04-10-2009, 02:05 PM

you install flush with the trunk OR indent say 1.8 or 1.4 inch?

Kbueno · 04-10-2009, 02:17 PM

Depends...if you want M3 look: indent.
I like it flush.

PKumarM3 · 04-10-2009, 02:57 PM

when i installed mine on the e90, i just looked at how bmw placed the lip spoiler on my e46 m3. there was a 3/4cm indent, which is what i did. Love the look

CWINMA · 04-10-2009, 03:03 PM

Perfect answer.

Looks like the mods have censored this thread for the betterment of the forum.

Thank you...

ragingclue · 04-10-2009, 03:30 PM

3.5 inch indent IMO.

You mean 3/4"

That seems like a bit much though, based on the photo I agree with PKumarM3 on 3/4 of a cm.

chrisE92 · 04-10-2009, 05:04 PM

indent, but NOT with 1.8 or 1.4".. more like 1/2" at most

to_riffic · 04-10-2009, 05:06 PM

agree w/ chrise92

No I really agree with myself.

I'd like it flush, personally, but when I'm unable to make decisions myself anymore, I'll be sure to ask everyone on the forums.

You mean 3.5 cm? I want one, and will put it on the M3 way, not flush.

No I mean flush. I took it upon myself to go to the rides and body styling, as well as the cosmetic modifications subforums, and looked at a lot of pics that included this spoiler.

Based on what I saw, I like it flush. And if I ever end up getting a cosmetic mod, maybe it will be this, and in that case, I would put it on how I like it: flush.

And I was kidding about the 3.5 inches BTW

ragingclue is just mad that the OP called him a name earlier (that was censored by an admin)

Yes you got it!

No, I'm not mad about it though. I could care less. If OP wants to take an attitude into his conversation with everyone who doesn't answer his question exactly, he'll find his own way out of the forums eventually, ala bossman.

He asked our opinion. I asked him if he had seen pics himself. I don't really see what the harm in that is. I wasn't attacking him, and I did no namecalling until he did that himself. At least it was edited instead of infractions being handed out. IMO that's an improvement. But, then again, I'm ok with leaving it to the mods to properly moderate the forums. Their job, not mine.

I could post links to the bazillion threads that include pics of this mod, whether it be flush or indented, kinda like how canuck does, but that's just not the way I roll. I could also post the titles of all of the threads this guy has started, to give you the idea of how thorough his searches are before asking everyone else for their opinions on what he should do. But I won't do that either.

I'll simply say flush. Because that's my personal opinion. And if you don't agree with me, you're straight WRONG SON!

just kidding.

Spydeputy · 04-11-2009, 06:26 AM

1/2 " f/ the edge, or flush. both look nice. but not an inch something, thats to far.

CWINMA · 04-11-2009, 07:32 AM

I hurt your feelings dude.

I mounted mine flush. I think it looks just right. But real M3s( which ours aren't), are mounted about 1/2" from the edge.

d3l0n · 06-02-2009, 11:12 AM

this thread was helpful
I was tryin to figure out the right way and was about to go to my dealer to check the m3 set up

adamaster · 06-02-2009, 12:28 PM

MTECH or M3 spoiler

ska///235i · 06-02-2009, 08:59 PM

etmathews · 06-02-2009, 09:53 PM
