E90, spoiler or no spoiler?

EnVe46 · 12-08-2018, 09:54 AM

Recently had my E90 in the body shop to take care of some imperfections in preparation for a full body Xpel. The trunk being one of the main ones due to the PO installed a GTS wing, I had the holes filled and refinished. Now I'm looking at it and I'm kinda digging the no spoiler look. Also considering no badge. It certainly cleans up the rear.

So, what's everyone's thoughts? Spoiler or no spoiler? Black badge or no? Attached a few pics in different lighting for consideration

i think it looks good either way. a bare trunk makes the car look more stout though.

I like it better with the spoiler.

I've been contemplating getting the gts spoiler, but I'm hesitant until I don't upgrade my suspensions for better stance.

Maybe just go with the OEM lip instead? It's a bit bare without anything...and at a same time, I'm not a fan of the GTS spoiler on a sedan look. You have a nice and aggressive rear diffuser, so a subtle OEM lip will match it nicely. Otherwise your rear end will become too busy with any major spoiler.

+1 to the OEM lip soiler. I think that's the best one for E90s.

I have one on my 328i and it really accents the rear of the car well.

I agree! Looks good both ways

TDW_Nero · 12-08-2018, 03:27 PM

Personally I like the lip spoiler with black badge combo

HadesM3 · 12-08-2018, 03:56 PM

No lip spoiler looks better!

wfdeacon88 · 12-08-2018, 04:53 PM

Doesn't look "right" without a badge... I don't think it looks cleaner without a badge and just looks off.

Very incomplete without the spoiler.

I'm currently running badgeless, kinda like it.

12mm spacers will deff bring out those rear tires more

With spoiler and black badge!

I just think we need a little more to distinguish ourselves from regular e90's.

E90M3velocity · 12-08-2018, 06:30 PM

No spoiler

Black badge on dark cars looks crap. My car came with a black badge on the rear, removed it as soon as I could.

And quad pipes and fat guards aren't a giveaway

I'm not contemplating the GTS spoiler, I removed it when I bought the car. I had the trunk refinished.

I'm going to get pics with OEM spoiler, carbon spoiler with crt theme and then no spoiler at all.

I agree on the badge. I like the black badge tying in the rest of the black accents.

Thanks everyone for their input!

If you get a gts wing you’ll need aggressive styling mods to execute it.

Again, do not have a GTS wing anymore. It was removed

I read that afterwards, but you should reinstall one.

I didn't like the way it looked on the E90. Veryfew pull it off well. My car is FAR from track oriented. This is what the car looked like before I got my hands on it
