spoiler lip - M3 Forum 2010 2009 BMW M3 2008 BMW M3 BMW E90 M3 E92

I'm ordering a new M3 and would appreciate your thoughts on leaving the spoiler lip on the car, or ordering the car without it. For those of you who thought about this as a yea of nay situation, what were your thoughts and conclusions in making your choice? Has anybody ordered one without the spoiler? BMW says the spoiler "improves its aerodynamic efficiency." I don't know how to evaluate that outside the race track. A salesman told me that about 30% of his customers order the car without a spoiler lip.

Dude ... leave it on then if you don't like it sell it. Can probably get a good amount for a real M spoiler. I don't think they drill holes. You'll just need to clean up some sticky stuff.

You mean the boot (rear spoiler). If you don´t like it, you can easily take it off, you are unlikely to ever feel any difference unless you are going well above 200 kph.
