    Why no spoiler on Verts and do they look silly?

    I always wondered why 3 series convertibles don't come with spoilers. Anyone know why? I did search for this on the forum since I wanted to ensure this hasn't been addressed earlier.

    Second question, do you think it would look silly putting one on a convertible? (I'd probably order one from Bimmian)

    Thanks!

    I have seen them as recent as the BMW CCA clean car show on an M3 vert. Looks really good. I have also seen CSL trunk which looked pretty good.

    I ordered one for my vert last weekend. I will post pics once its on.

    Did you order one from Bimmian or if not where are you getting yours from? Thanks.

    I ordered one from ECS for my VERT and getting it C/F wrapped by Nacho.

    EDIT: to be clear, I'm talking about the lip spoiler, not that bigger spoiler that is in 3 pieces that goes across the whole rear of the car.

    I ordered a VERT version and I guess it looks similar to the coupe version, but I wasn't really paying attention to that. Also, I am having it wrapped in carbon fiber to match my (yet to be installed) carbon fiber diffuser.
