Could look @ Varis they come in two different heights, but are a lot of $$$ and the wait time is pretty long on them as well. I also think there are only a handful if that of vendors that can get them imported.

BimmerWorld has a wing too

One important aspect of adding a wing, or aero in general, is to maintain the balance of the car. I've seen too many cars with a huge wing but a tiny front lip. Does it work? Sure. But does it work efficiently? No. When someone has a large wing but only run it at a low downforce/angle of attack setting, the wing is simply carrying unneeded mass and adding drag.

Here's M-World's Clubsport Aero package developed based on the aero package on the M3 GT4 race car. The wing may seem small, but it adds over 100 lbs of downforce at 60 mph. It also maintains the balance of the car when paired with the Clubsport front splitter. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=564761

A friend of a friend got the 300, I think they are on clearance because an updated version is coming out? Anyways, I hear he likes it well enough. I think the 200 is too small? APR lists it as a "compact car" wing.
