I have a M240ix Skyscraper Grey, scheduled to arrive in the next week. First task is to remove the awful excuse for a spoiler on the lid. I'm new to everything BMW. Considering the car color and having the M Sport Professional Package, do I stay with a new improved black or carbon fiber spoiler? Leaning towards the TRE ID-01.

P.S.(entertainment value) - Just for curiosities sake, I got a quote from BMW dealer in Louisville for removal and installation of new spoiler. $360.40 for first hour, $720.80 for two hours if needed.

I did mine myself, lot's of microfiber towels, 3M adhesive remover, and tons of elbow grease. Don't forget to mask up, both the vehicle and your airway (R95). It is a lengthy process, so do you have more time or money? It took me 4 hours just to remove the old spoiler adhesive. Go slow, don't use a wheel, heat and friction are your friends.


The TRE spoiler to me is basic AKA merely okay, but there are far better options. ArmorExtend is the one I should have went with, but I found "The One" after installing it. It is what I wish I would have got. ArmorExtend is the absolute best looking conventional, or "Wicker Bill" style https://armorextend.com/products/arm...g42-m240i-copy

As for color, that's your decision. I don't trust the scratch resistance of the Black colored body pieces, so that's why I went with Carbon Fiber. Throw on a decent ceramic coating and longevity won't be an issue.

Cheaper option:

Appreciate the input. Definitely a sweet looking spoiler. First I want to make sure if gloss black or CF is the best blend with the Skyscraper Grey. M Performance spoiler to me is a definite no.

I’d go carbon fiber over gloss black all day. From a distance it’ll look black and when you get up close it’ll still look black while having some nice CF goodness.

I’m with you on the M performance spoiler.

Really appreciate the input guys. I ordered a CF spoiler this morning. Now if I can get the car delivered. It was released for transit at Baltimore VDC Monday afternoon.

I remember my last few days to delivery. It finally said “at dealership” so i texted my sales guy and was like “the car is there, whats up?” and he was like “ugh yeah lets plan for delivery in 3-4 days”. I was like “dude you are sniffing glue, Ive been waiting for 5.5 months checking status every day Ill be there in 30 minutes”. I picked up the car that night.

Dang, I would need to be medicated to wait 5.5 months. I placed order on September 6 and the wait has been really hard. Patience is not a virtue of mine. First BMW experience, so I definitely will know the drill next time. Have an appointment with dealer on the 26th for install of 4 Dinan parts. No car and have appointment scheduled, go figure. We all seem to go nuts over these cars to varying extent.
