M Performance Pro rear spoiler
Just got my spoiler installed and it finally looks like M not like 5er
Photos attached, interesting fact is that it's required to install front splitter together with pro spoiler and service had to code DTC for it. Last edited by jjjjjjjjjjjjj; 09-17-2018 at 06:59 AM.. Reason: mistake DTC/DCT |

Yes it took weeks for me from pre-order to receiving it but I must say it changes car a lot. The spoiler 'cut out' is shaped right with roof and hood lines.

You can order, you can even fit it yourself however BMW have official instructions that it's required to install both and code car ( DCT ) for changes so car makes most out of changes

As said before YOU CAN BUY PARTS AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH THEM. If you want - you can even make coffee table from them. Dealership won't have problem selling them apart.
However in official install instructions you have it written down to fit both parts together and then proceed with coding car. You can officially install front splitter without rear PRO spoiler. But you shouldn't install rear pro spoiler without front splitter. What I also wrote - you can just buy parts and install them yourself in garage. No one will forbid you to. It's just not going to be along with official instructions |

no need to yell and get your panties into a bunch. your first reply made no sense to me as you refer to coding "DCT". in my book DCT means dual clutch transmission and there is no DCT in this car. Regardless of that, it still makes no sense to me that BMW has to "code" the car after the addition of a stick on spoiler. it's whatever at this point. |

I have held off commenting in your thread since the coding aspect does not really make sense. But here I shall say your dealership is saying you need to re-code your car since you added a slightly more aggressive rear spoiler and front end splitters ? How much did they charge you for the re-coding ? And if you could be so kind to publish the paperwork ? Because, my friend, they are a stealership, and you are being taken for a ride on that bus. This would be the first time I have heard of this. If they offered you a comp flash that is different - and yes you can do that in Europe. By the way program dynamic traction control, really ? That only helps slow you car down, so what did they do add a + 1 in the ecu so your car can slip better, makes no sense man. Last edited by marcvtec; 09-20-2018 at 09:14 PM.. |

The white car that's coming in that I grabbed already has the standard carbon spoiler (also the carbon rear splitter). I would have loved this. I'm still toying with the idea of adding the front carbon pieces, which would complete the whole look, although the front carbon on white is very aggressive looking.
