carbon rear spoiler
I liked the look of the M product when it came out, but the price was stupid.
took a gamble and ordered the Chinese version and what a surprise. fit and finish was spot on and took all of 5 minutes to put on and looks fantastic. for less than 1/2 the priced of the M bit. I may go for the front end kit in the spring. |

I really wonder that'll look like after a year, but for $190 maybe it's worth the gamble

i saw this same wing.. would love to see a pic of it from standing near the door and looking towards the back of the car.
i was going to buy one and figured for $190 if i get 2 years out of it thats still 1/3 the cost of the M one. at that rate i can buy a new one every few years and still come out cheaper! |

Personally, I will never purchase replica parts because I do not support those who copy the hard work of others. It's not even an issue of quality, it's the principle. Last edited by Reid; 11-26-2014 at 07:54 PM.. |

I no longer trust parts like this, though I sincerely hope this works out for you OP. I paid a good bit of money for carbon fiber interior trim plus a really cool carbon fiber steering wheel for the e60 M5 I used to have. The stuff looked stunning for the first four months. Then it started to discolor badly. After six months, you could barely see the carbon fiber weave under the epoxy or whatever the hard glaze is over the carbon fiber. It really looked bad. I had to take it out and put the original wheel and trim in before I could sell it. The company that made it was Nexon Motors, by the way. Avoid their stuff at all costs. It looks amazing at first, but in months is trash.

I had chinese CF mirror caps on my e92 M3. It looked great when I first got them, and I was happy like the OP... but after a year or two it started to look really bad. The clear coat was pitting, and it looked like it was separating from the CF weave underneath. The problem was, I couldn't get myself to pay again for new ones so everytime I looked at them, I got the same feeling I get when I look at a door ding or curb rash.
At $465, the OEM spoiler really isn't that much more expensive if you are already paying for $200 chinese knock off garbage. Don't be cheap... get the real thing. |

You make it seem like 70k is a lot for a car. This is the least expensive toy I've picked up in a decade and it's as fun as I expected. Great value for the dollar. Here's an idea: Pay what you want for your bling by whom ever and I'll pay for mine as I see fit. The concept was there is a good product that matched the overpriced M stuff. If 250 is not a problem for you, then cough it up and get one and see for yourself. |

So you think that the BMW Performance CF parts are made in germany? Read the engraving/label on the inside
