What is M3 owner's thoughts on roof spoilers and window visors?

s4play · 02-28-2013, 08:21 PM

I had a roof spoiler on my last M3 and thinking if the E90 needs one....

Also I like window visors on my SUV's and JDM cars but not sure if this is a mod people do for european cars?

thanks!

they make the car look cheap IMO

Go for the stick-on chrome air vents on the front fenders. Those make your car fast!! ;-)

Please don't.

roof-rear window spoiler ok, rainguards=no.

thanks for the comments, figured!

Odd how it's a super popular mod on Lexus cars, must be a JDM thing only.

I had them on my Acura TL. They're definitely not going on my M3

Only place a roof spoiler belongs is on this car:

all other cars = banned.

Funny you mention window visors, a while ago when I had an EG9 I loved the visors and briefly thought about them for the E90 then decided it wouldn't be very aesthetically pleasing!

carbon//m3 · 03-05-2013, 10:09 AM

Please no.

darnelld · 03-05-2013, 11:01 AM

nope

I think you can definitely pull off a subtle roof spoiler. Some of them are nasty. But a nice simple roof spoiler can look very nice.

Similar to this one

Beautiful Dakar in your sig, that stance is perfect, everything flows well!

No roof spoiler for me, but I do love the A-team!
