    Question Noob Questions: 004 of 100 - Contemplating 'Lumma Design UK' STW Rear Wing Spoiler on a '06 330ci M-Tech ZHP (e46)

    Sooo, I'm fairly new to ZHP Mafia, and mechanical performance mod's in general.

    This question pertains to adding a 'Lumma Design UK' STW Rear Wing Spoiler on my Sparkling Graphite Metallic '06 330ci M-Tech ZHP (e46).

    I share in the opinion of most nearly everyone that adding a rear spoiler on a BMW is slightly ludicris and sometimes just plain lame, but I think I've found one that fits well on our BMW's (because it's designed for BMW's new X6M).

    However, I'm just not sure if I like the high-profile tall-look of it. I'm going to proposition 'Lumma Design' to build a lower-profile version, and maybe they'd even consider doing group-buys if anyone else would be interested.

    So my question is.. is this particular spoiler too ricey, just right as-is, or only a good addition in an extremely lower-profile version?

    Also, if I go through with it, I'd most likely paint it to match the car as well.

    I'll welcome any advice and experiences, good or bad, to help me make the right decision!

    Not for the sake of hating. But I do hate it. It's not my car, though.
    If you like it, rock it!

    There is a lower profile spoiler that looks good with the car BTW. I'm not sure this one does it for me, looks good from the side in the pic but not from the rear, seems a little high and and a little "too much" IMHO. To me, it screams "add-on", but not integrated with the flow of the car and not functional.... but absolutely your car, your choice. We don't hate on family cars here.

    I'm in the "function over form" camp 100%. I'd skip it and save the money for....say....good brake pads, rotors, and fluid. Unless you're tracking hard enough that you need more downforce. But as they say - your car, your money. If you like it, rock it!

    If you're set on buying a raised spoiler, go with the M-Clubsport spoiler (part# 51717895560)
