Need e92 M3 Help!!

[Johnny135i]

Hi guys

I have a e92 325i Coupe M-Sport.But for some reason BMW releases them WITHOUT a boot spoiler!!!:argh:

So I got the tiny M3 boot spoiler to finish the backend off nicely!My BMW dealership quoted me R5500 which I think is ridiculous, so I just got a generic Japanese import(at least I think its japanese?cos you know everything is "Made in Japan" hehe) at Extreme Motorsport in CPT.It cost me R2800, including the paintjob!!Bargain IMO

Now I need help on where to fit it on the bootlid...

The guy I bought it from told me that it has to be fitted not on the edge of the bootlid, but slightly deeper(a little closer to the rear window side).He told me to stick it almost i fingers' thickness from the bootlid's edge!!is this true?cos I haven't really taken notice of this on a real M3, and there aren't that many of them in my town (only one M3 in my town of which I know about in fact!!!)

I really don't want to F-it up cos I've heard the 3M tape is a bitch to remove once its stuck!!

Help would be greatly appreciated!!

See what i mean, it just doesn't look slick without it...Sorry I still don't know how to post bigger images so you just have to click on it to enlarge!!

Yes he's right, you must be able to see the bend of the bootlid and about 5/6 mm of the top of the boot. Only the M performance CF spoiler fits at the edge.
I'm shocked at the price As the M performance spoiler up here is about the price you were quoted for the normal one.

Good luck, will look tops

Well actually you're right on the money!it is in fact the M-performance bootspoiler that they quoted me for.me and the guy working behind the parts-counter checked the system,but apparantly there's only 2 types of bootspoilers available for the e92 these days: a big DTM-touring car-style spoiler, which in my opionin will look stupid on my car!its great for a track car, but thats not the look i'm after.and then there's the carbon spoiler.I thought about going all-out carbon, the spoiler,front diffusers,mirror covers etc, but that was gonna cost me about 20-grand+!so i thought, screw that!!that money could be used for my next purchase in a year or two,when I plan on trading up for the big daddy, the M3!

Thanks for the advice Jerez!much appreciated!!!
