FINALLY....Something you Haven't Seen or Complained About
Go out to my car last night, open the trunk, put some clothes in the trunk. Trunk is fine. Head to my parents house. Running down the highway I hit 80-90mph a few times. Get home, go to take the clothes out, and look at what I find
 ....nice huh? Dealer took it in today, and it should be done by Friday, UNDER WARRANTY. Since I won't be adding any aftermarket spoilers or BMW performance parts to the trunk, they won't be using the adhesive strip BMW uses but rather a more permanent glue that you would use with other body mods.....Just when you think you have seen it all  Figured you guys probably had not seen this one yet......Oh well, guess sh*t happens......

That does not look to me like the wind just blew the spoiler away as the adhesive is in chunks... it looks like somebody tried to steal your spoiler and did not have enough time to finish the job, so the sucker was loose.
Regardless, at least it will be covered by warranty.  |

You go any faster and you'll find your back seat on the hwy!!
Maybe your car was trying to tell you "get me a performance spoiler"

Either way I'm glad BMW is replacing it. Not sure I'd let them use betalink, i considered it, even bought a tube but it seemed too permanent. Maybe I'm just a commitment phobe.

e46e92, I would take a few moments and try and deduce where it might likely have happened. You could then be prepared to perhaps avoid that place in the future if possible. |

There was already a whole list of places I won't go with the car, but after last night, the list is growing, and growing.....and growing.......and growing. Cheers, e46e92

What annoys me, what really gets me, is what the hell is wrong with people if this is in fact a botched theft, leading to the wind taking it off? No one knows, but either way, I'm upset to even think that a week year old car already fell victim to some ignorant bastard  Cheers, e46e92

FYI, Betalink can be "fishing line" sawed off, just like the tape. |

Happened to me last winter, except I wasn't driving. I was trying to push the car out of some snow with a friend and accidently grabbed the spoiler....
 I got the permenant glue for the repair and it's good as new now.

I would be leery of permanent epoxy on the lid. Besides, you could just go spoiler-less like I did. Looks clean IMO.
