ADRO Wing: Any Experience?

I'm posting this here because its clearly a more track focused add-on. I have a 24 M4 Comp and it is my main track car. I love the look of this one but is it too much? Obviously I want downforce but I want some cosmetic appeal as well. Any experience with this wing?

No experience with that wing but you'll probably need to balance the front end out if you get it.

Adro’s team certainly has the pedigree but seems like they’re prioritizing a look vs function.

Also, if your intention ever branches into competition the dual element of this wing may bump you into the pointy end classes.

We've installed a few, here's IOMG with the Adro AT-R3 Carbon Wing:













Feel free to PM me directly if you have any specific questions on components or installation.

Super cool. I ended up going with the OEM high wing and the RW Carbon CSL Front lip.

If you can give your track impressions pre/post I'd be interested to hear about it. I've considered the OEM flow through spoiler (I have the OEM rear CF spoiler), but I'm concerned about throwing the balance off with the OEM front splitter that I have (that I'm not likely to give up).

Will definitely do. I'm not expecting it to have much of a noticeable difference, I'm just hoping it makes the rear end feel a little less light at high speed (150+)

What sort of downforce are you getting from this wing. Assume it needs to be balanced on the front as well. Also can the boot mounts for the wing take this sort of additional stress?

Theres a BMW white paper around it somewhere but I cant find it at the moment. Its about 200lb if I remember. I am adding a front lip as well, but I have no delusions that this is going to be a marked change.

I have one on my G87. I wish it mounted over the hinges and was adjustable like the Verus but it is still a functional wing that produces downforce and looks great.
Fun thing- it whistles between 90-140 mph. The whistle is almost as loud as my exhaust.

I just installed an ADRO wing on my F82. Do the ends of your wing also start flexing at around 100-110 mph?

Not that I noticed but of course, I am looking forward at that speed. I guess I would have to have a camera on it to see if it flexed.
