Rear Spoiler and Black Model Badge

Today I pulled off the OEM flat lip spoiler and replaced it with the M Performance CF rear spoiler. Also rebadged with the M Perf gloss black M240i badge.
Very interesting how the new spoiler actually reshapes the tail of the car--the outside ends of the spoiler sit on top of the trunk but quickly roll over the rear edge of the trunk and attach to the back surface rather than sitting on top.

Looks good! I've been on the fence but looks great on a lighter color. I'm hoping that someone comes out with a more aggressive diffuser to go along with it.

Looks great. Now remove the xDrive badge to keep it consistent black 😎

Thanks! I thought about taking off the xDrive but think it would make the rear look a little unbalanced R to L. I was actually thinking of doing a gloss black over-spray on that badge and just let the embossing show through.

Interesting that you black-wrapped your trunk strip--I am actually planning to wrap my CF spoiler. Right now the CF looks cool but a little out of place when you get up close and notice it is not the same black as the rest of the Shadowline trim.

I removed the OEM spoiler and installed the M Performance CF one. The rear looks way better now and more aggressive. If you look at my YT channel you'll see some vids about the badging and spoiler as well.

Here's the spoiler one before the black badge install.
