Performance Steering Wheel and Rear Spoiler Installed!

RogeM3 wrote

I can't compare it to the coupe, because I don't know anyone with one arround where I live. The shape of the trunk on the E93 is different than the coupe, but this spoiler falls into place on the trunk top edge perfectly! it almost fits by itself. I did not glue the center part of the spoiler, so you can see a gap, probably 1/8 of an inch or less, with the Betalink glue (super strong glue) you could definitely glue it if you wanted to, I had read somewhere not to do it, so I left it alone for now, if it bothers me, I'll glue the whole thing, but you can hardly see it at all, you have to lean down to a perfect angle to see it.

Is that the Performance Spoiler from BMW? Do you have any more pictures of the trunk?

Nice mod! Looks good. I have the same wheel and love it.

May I ask how to remove that center console. I have DCT and my lever pops a little bit when I pull on it sometimes, then it pops back in. Something is loose there and I need to tighten that up. I want my lever feel solid, if you know what I mean

very nice, love minor upgrades that just change the car

It's pretty easy, just remove the shift boot by pulling it up, you can try each corner by bending in and up, comes out pretty easy, then I pull out the iDrive. The start pulling up the console from the back where the arm rest is, I used a (old) ID card to pull it up (Id will get ruined) and a small screw driver wrapped with scotch's tape, I was very careful not to scratch anything or do anything fast, I took my time, and as I lift the console up I moved forward. Here is a video, to give you an idea, I don't like his method because he is to me, very sloppy taking things out, but look at the video to give you an idea on how the center console disassembles. DO not use metal to push up the center console, you will scratch it.

Hope it helps.

It is the original BMW Performance Spoiler. I don't have any more pics right now, but I'll take a few this weekend and reply back with them for you to see.

Great. I also have a e93, so you did not have any issues with the fit"?

No man, not whatsoever, If anything I've gotten tons of compliments at work, more than my front spoiler. I bought the OEM Spoiler 'cause is right up top in the car, and I wanted the carbon to look perfect, and it looks beautiful.

Dude, that wheel is just the cat's ass! Awesome! I must have one!

looking good =)

was it a DIY install? if so can you comment on install steps?

Really simple if you have a 6MT.... if you do, don't forget to disconnect the battery and follow the instructions from the link below STARTING from step 9, skip all the electronic stuff.

Nati Beastcat, on this forum, actually he is on this thread as well, point me to this link that was very helpful!

Thanks a lot. I actually dropped the car off at the dealership for an oil change and told them to look into my issue with the shift knob. So far they have told me "normal wear" (the car has 13000 miles), but supposedly SA submitted inquiry into BMW in New Jersey. Hopefully they'll do something about it. If they dont, i'll try to use the method.

Sorry for jacking the thread

Please, post more pictures. I've been looking for an E93 spoiler. If this one fits, I'll get one

The dealership here in Knoxville, TN change my worn parts inside the car for FREE under the warranty, they changed the handle on the inside of the car (drivers sided) and the cover for the cupholders in the back seats that had scratches, also the iDrive knob that was loose, they put a new one. They told me the car warranty cover all worn parts! Grayson BMW, great service!!!! in case you want to fight that in NJ

Looks good. What front lip do you have?

love the wheel mate, can't wait to order mine now.
