Thumbs up Do you like this rear roof spoiler?

I'm looking to change the stance of my newly swapped M52 ti. They're aren't too many options. I'm searching for something that's functional (making use of the higher clean air) subtle & stylish. Do you like this one? I'm going to find out if this guy can manufacture one for our ti's.

I don't know how functional a wing that small would be but it does look nice I think

Default Pics

I've only got those pics, sorry. I'm in contact with the guy that manufactures these. I'm sending him some dimensions and he said he'd get back to me with pricing.
Does anyone think there would be any functionality from this? No, it's not very wide but it is nice and high where it gets that "clean air", correct? I could be wrong.

I really doubt that a little roof spoiler like that will make any noticeable difference

At any speed limit in the country no spoiler will make a difference. To really feel the difference a spoiler makes you need to be going well over 100mph.

So unless your car is a race car that sees that type of speed all you really need to ask yourself is whether you like the looks or not.

It is not a bad looking spoiler!

My Evo II spoile on my M3 I notice around town... I see it drain my fuel tank drain at a faster rate.



BMW did get it right when they did the Evo spoiler it does add down force and drag.

Lol... I guess I should have been more specific. I was not even thinking of the negative impact on fuel economy.
