Questions Regarding i5 Cosmetic Mods
Just bought a new eDrive 40 and I have a few questions regarding some of the cosmetic mods that are available for this car.
1) I was thinking about putting a ducktail spoiler and came across a couple on eBay. I haven't ever bought "mods" for a car before so I was just wondering if people here have had good luck with eBay or if its something I should avoid. I don't want something to look cheap or tacky but at the same time I would rather not overspend if its minor differences. Also, my car has full matte PPF so would a high gloss spoiler look good? I can't find any matte options. 2) I'm also thinking about front and rear splitters but I was wondering if I would have to drill into the bumper for that or if it would use existing screws. |

The guys at AutoID actually just launched a ducktail spoiler (https://autoid.co/products/bmw-m5-g9...y-alpha-n-2024). Looks pretty sick tbh but it is pricey at £1.2k

I think your right. I just ordered the spoiler and it’s coming in about a week and a half. I’ll post pictures on whatever I decide to do.

Just got the spoiler a couple of days ago. Had a little chip on it due to shipping so unfortunately i have to wait some more time. But I tried a test fit and this is how the car looks with the gloss black spoiler. I think it looks good and matches well with the other gloss black parts.

Thanks for the photos. I agree, I think it looks fine glossy, because it seems to match the other glossy black trim at the bottom and on the wheels, etc.
