Roadster rear spoiler, I cant decide if I like it or not.

WAMz4 · 01-18-2013, 11:34 AM

I cant decide if I like it or not.
Do any roadster owners have the factory rear spoiler installed? If so, can you post a picture of the full car with the spoiler?
I'm considering getting one but there are no images on the internet other than a close up of the rear deck with spoiler, no images of the full car so I can see the overall effect.
This is all I can find, so if anyone here has it installed, do you have a better overall pic of your car?

I think the 3rd or 4th picture has a great shot. Almost convinced me to get one. I'm still debating though.

TAL2GK · 01-18-2013, 06:30 PM

I vote no. I'll give them credit for making it look understated compared to some, but it still messes up the lines IMO.

inTgr8r · 01-18-2013, 06:39 PM

This is the one they should have made.

SD Z4MR · 01-18-2013, 07:20 PM

I thought about one for awhile and decided that I didn't like it, although I'd still like to see one in person. It looks too much like a handle on the trunk.

I just had to buy a new pool vac and the handle kind of reminded me of the Z4 Aero Spoiler:

Yes! What is that one?

inTgr8r · 01-18-2013, 09:34 PM

That's the one the BMW used to promo the M introduction.
....then they never made the spoiler.
& I have no idea why

dubsesd · 01-18-2013, 09:51 PM

The roadster already has a csl type trunk. Needs no spoiler imo

Also has orange sidemarkers

The Ac Schnitzer and Hamann spoilers are quite nice, of course they cost about double what the OEM one does.

Not my car but heres one from last year's ZFest. Kudos to SUNZOUT. I think he put the full Aero kit on.

psygnosis · 01-24-2013, 02:15 AM

It doesn't have the Aero rear apron

I actually think they just caught it when the light blinked as you can see the rear turn signal is also lighted.

As an aside I always hate rear spoilers that make it hard to clean the area underneath it. The tiny carbon fiber one I see on the coupes is the only one I would go for.

Would Steve, who makes the MStache, make one like the OE lip on the coupe for our roadsters? I bet he'll make a killing since there are way more roadsters than coupes. 2.5, 3.0i, 3.0is and M.

Too bad I don't have any skills in that regard, otherwise, it'll already be done.. STEVE or anyone would take this project on?

Huz-Z · 01-28-2013, 07:53 AM

There is a guy in my town with a red 2.5I roadster. Its in absolutely immaculate condition and he has installed after market rims (CSL reps I think) and one of those controversial rear spoilers.

I have to say that on a whole, the car looked great - spoiler included.

The Tischer style wing (wings) that come in 2 pieces look like "Dog ears" to me.
