Evan@Tischer · 04-30-2010, 10:53 AM

The spoilers are now available to order and on special on our site!!! PM me your email address for the installation instructions! (i tried to post them but it's not working for some reason)

I purchased the OEM front splitters for my 09 M3, and I noticed that on page 17 of the instructions, it mentions screwing in three screws to secure the splitter. Here's the problem, only 2 of the screws mentioned are touching the front bumper (the other is lower than the bumper, too far from the mounting hole) and of those 2, only one has a pre-existing screw hole.

I highly doubt these splitters were made with the intent of screwing into the bumper where there was no pre-existing hole, but if necessary I would do it. Is that what they intended? Currently I only have one screw and the adhesive holding the splitters in place, is that even safe?

Any ideas?

I just got the splitters from your site so thank you.

One quick question. Do you really have to roughen the paint up where the splitters are glued? I was hoping to be able to remove the splitters later on w/o having to repaint the bumper.

You dont have to glue the splitters, just use some 3M Tape and some screws and your perfectly good to go.

Did anyone get back to you about the screw problem ? Just got splitters today

Locksmythe · 01-24-2011, 10:09 PM

I have not looked at these splitters personally but I would point out that e90 and e92 bumpers are attached with different screw patterns, so the extra screw may not apply to your fitment. I can't imagine it matters anyway. The glue/tape at the top edge bears the brunt of the shear force.

scottEdog1 · 01-25-2011, 10:01 PM

yeah same screw issue
I bought -black rubber sealant
it will not be prone to coming off with water and temp changes
it will be easy to get off the paint later if I have to replace one or take them off in general

I bought foam spungy tape "I think weather stripping - will need to check" to go around the washer that snugs up on the carbon fiber of the screw provided.

I need to drill holes in the bumper that I am not happy about!

will keep you updated on how everything turnes out on my e90

scottEdog1 · 01-25-2011, 10:02 PM

Why black rubber sealant you ask....because that tape comes off after a few months plus it also raises the splitter
