Well, go ahead and tell me I told ya so. Aesthetically, it looks great. The weave quality is really really good. Fit, not even close. There is a gap at each end preventing the spoiler from sitting flush on the trunk. I've added a few pics, it was a dry fit and wasn't actually taped on, but no amount of pressure would have got it to sit correctly. I hope this helps others make the determination if saving a few dollars is worth the sacrafice... Enjoy!

It doesn't belong on M cars

Pretentious bullshit. I have an eBay CF lip spoiler and it has amazing quality, and was less than $200 shipped.

Gold plate whatever you want, but don't ditch somebody for attempting a value based purchase.. His didn't work out well, but solutions do exist out there, and I applaud him for trying to find one.

Front lip is a good idea to get rep since it scrapes. Spoiler is a different story

Did the eBay seller refund your money?

It's cool seeing all the feedback from the community(whether it's positive for negative). Thanks for sharing your eBay purchase and voicing your opinion/experience on here. Cheers from the lesson learned for both you and me. It looks like I'll be getting my spoiler from Getbmwparts

He sure did. I will say the customer service was top notch.


BTW, I went with the OEM M Performance spoiler. I love it. It looks a lot wider in person than in pictures.

Okay. Here's an update...

I guess I am a bit hard headed, but I tried eBay again. But this time I ordered a carbon fiber diffuser (see link below). I am happy to report that fit and finish is absolutely perfect and I am a bit of a perfectionist. I'll add more pictures soon when I get it washed today. But here are a few. Just wanted to share to help save members a few dollars. Hope y'all find this helpful!

That cool you tried the diffuser. But $315, that's kinda expensive for a Chinese knockoff.

It actually looks just as good as oem in my opinion. i love it and very happy. I'm sure someone will argue that oem is superior and they are probably right, but for a diffuser you really can't go wrong.

Hope this helps those who are picky but want to save a little cash. remember, I'm picky too, that's why I returned my eBay spoiler and got the m performance.
