M3 spoiler question

Norcal_335i · 10-20-2010, 10:44 PM

Just got my m3 spoiler in mail today. My question does the spoiler has to flexed to fit on my 2007 e90 sedan?

SLCGoonski · 10-20-2010, 10:50 PM

If you ordered the e90 M3 spoiler...it won't need to flex at all to fit perfectly.

If you ordered the e92 M3 spoiler for your e90...you may have a problem.

my spoiler had to be flexed a bit for it to sit right.

the again maybe my dealership gave me the wrong one, even though i specified E92

I ordered e90 one....Anyone else know does it have to be flexed to fit?? Will post pic soon

hipnotic · 10-20-2010, 11:03 PM

Norcal_335i · 10-20-2010, 11:07 PM

Jlevi!!! site says 100% guarantee filiment. Site didnt say flex to fit...hahaha

SLCGoonski · 10-20-2010, 11:18 PM

Mine was an OEM from Tischer...no flex. Just sit it where you want it...have a buddy hold it down...and pull the tape.

Maybe they gave me one for the e92 coupe

Mine had to be flexed a bit, not much but it wasn't a perfect fit. I brought it to a good shop and they mounted it perfectly but I know what you mean.

OK...you happy with it overall??

Mine had to be flexed then tape wouldnt hold it. Everyone told me to use epoxy. I never used it...sitting on my workbench.

MusclezMarinara · 10-21-2010, 08:56 AM

the e90 spoiler fits e90s

e92 fits e92s

they are not backwards compatible, my one needed a slight bend to fit snug

SV Concepts III · 10-21-2010, 11:49 AM

You do need to flex the spoiler when you install it, this is normal.

Yeah, I'm happy with it. I doesn't line up flush all the way across. In other words, the edges it curves up just a little....and I mean very little. But I think it looks fine I think..

Norcal_335i · 10-21-2010, 06:11 PM

Thanks everyone for your input. I install spoiler today and had to flex it slightly. I heard OEM dealer or factory install spoilers are 1/4 inch away from end of trunk lid. So I decided to install it to those specs. Spoiler needed very slight flex at ends but it wasn't a big deal. Now if you decide to install flush to the end of the trunk lid I found you have to flex the s!@# out of it. So best bet 1/4 inch inch!!

P.s pics to follow!!!
