bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 I too sit on the fence in that respect Nick. I dont have a spoiler at the moment but Im thinking about getting one, but the only one I'd have is the M3 one. I like the look of it with no spoiler almost equally at having a spoiler. If only there was a way i could be able to attach it and remove it as I feel like it without having to drill holes or damage anything. But i dont think looking at the cost of it as a deciding factor. It would only cost like $300 to paint and fill the holes in the bootlid and it would make quite a dramatic difference to the line of the car. I think Im going to keep a eye out for a spoiler anyway just for a change. As someone said already it kind of completes the kit, I love the clean look of having no spoiler too. So I voted remove.

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 just buy another boot with a spoiler attached, then you can swap it depending on what mood you are in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) One thing everyone has forgotten, if Nick removes his spoiler, he is going to have to put one of those horrible aftermarket high stop lights in his rear window. Choice, spoiler with built in brake light or the 'clean look' with an ugly high stop light. I know which way I would go.

Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 IMO Nick it looks way sleeker and smoother without it, but im also biased.. although i do say a small lip does look the biz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wom 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2009 Personally I think the colour of the car has a lot to do with how good/bad it will look. I think darker colours give more shadows and hence look meaner and maybe even 'chunkier'. The red doesnt look so chunky and so gets away without having the spoiler, however with black or dark grey, Id leave it on. I saw a red E36 coupe today with the same spoiler and it didn't quite look right. But on the darker coloured bmw's it looks really good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 I removed mine when i first bought the M3 to see what it would look like, didn't like the look at all, i think the colour of the car is a major factor also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw325i 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 IMO definatly do away with it - downside holes that need filling and paint that needs matching :S but much much cleaner and shows the amazing lines of the E36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 ^^ Agree mate. Now seeing as the 'remove it' votes are beating the 'keep it's'. I'm gonna have to remove it! haha. I tried today but it looks asthough someone has tried to remove it in the past as one of the screws are stripped. Will give it a proper go tomorrow, and post up the results.

bmw325i 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 if all else fails with the screw.. turn to the trusty drill just be careful haha. I think a cheeky little lip would suit that colour though too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Ok, Seeing as I appreciated your opinions sooo much and the 'keep its' seemed to be leading for the entire time bar 5 minutes I thought I'd leave it on. So I 'kept it' for a week.... then I took it off! Now, I think I perfer it. As I knew it would do, its given it a cleaner line. I didn't get a photo completely side on of course, but the profile is a lot flatter and cleaner aswell. I'm gonna leave it off for a while, then maybe get a lip spoiler in the future. I'm still keen to hear your opinions. Especially now seeing its off. Cheers guys. Including the customary double shot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw325i 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 my opinion.. looks great, definatly shows off the lines of the car more. one thing that would give the car an even tougher look would be the clear indicator rear lights (red brake lights as normal but wil the white reverse and indicator strip) if you get what i mean... looking nice though mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) My two cents worth, I think it now looks semi naked. It's a sports car and should look like a sports car, and the spoiler does give it a much sportier look. Compare yours agianst my car........ which looks the more sportier? This is a personal opinion.
