M Performance Rear Wing Installed
MPerformance Rear Wing just installed
Got it from IND. Installation wasn't too hard BUT BE CAREFUL The 4 mounting holes for the base plate need to drill through the inside panel not outside. when drilling it's very easy to create a dimple on the outside panel when the drill finally goes through. Sadly this has been learned the hardway. Fortunately, they weren't obvious at all though. I didn't use any glue but use 3m tape to secure the wing and create some sort of water seal(even though the washer has O-ring on top of it) Also used a touch-up clear coat to cover the bare metal to prevent rust.

The wing itself looks good but I think you should remove the rear spoiler. Looks odd with both on there.

I didn't even notice that. Agreed! I'm not a fan of the wing, but if you're going to put it on, you have to lose the lip spoiler,

I don't think it looks very good especially with the stock spoiler still on and all the stickers, but to each their own.

I love the wing personally, is the M performance sticker that is on the bottom side of the wing removable easily? I ordered the flow through wing on my M3C that i am waiting for and that's the one thing that bugs me about the m performance parts is all the m performance decals.

I'm contemplating this wing now, not only for looks but also for some added downforce at the track.
How long was the install? Do you have to drill from inside the trunk?

I'm curious if some people think that every car with a wing looks ricey. Does a Lamborghini with a wing look ricey? If no, why not? What exactly determines that it looks ricey?

The criteria is definitely subjective. However, I think people will mostly agree if something is ricey or not although it won't be unanimous. Similar to a female with a nice behind, most dudes (but not all) will think it's on point as opposed to not.

An M4 with that wing does look pretty cringe if you park next to a senna with a proper swan neck wing. Personal preference but these M Performance parts look pretty disappointing. Don’t want to pay that much money to look at a mediocre looking wing, I think a properly aggressive spoiler will do more justice for cost |

I do not think the wing looks like it belongs on a BMW. The BMW is already a rather boxy looking car when comparing it to a sleek C8 Corvette, Lamborghini, or McClaren where the wing would look appropriate to the car.
The duck bill or PSM style trunk lid spoiler does look good on BMW's. |
