What do you mean by "not even with the trunk"?

Zoom in on the picture it doesn't sit flush with the trunk. That's what I mean
It's 1/8 inch short on either side to be flush

Buy the OEM one and it will fit the way the OEM is mean to: 1/8 inch away from the ends of the trunk lip.

It’s not meant to go to the edges.

It fits fine except that it isn't flush
Maybe it's factory like that
I figured for the price they sell for it would at least be flush with trunk

Thanks for the clarification.

By design, I think the factory spoiler is a little short on both ends too.

Will check tonight.

Compared to what; the OEM stock painted lip? Just trying to understand your point of reference. I am considering the lip.

There is no point of reference as I took the oem painted spoiler off shortly after I bought the car
So I don't remember if it was flush or not but I am just pointing out that there is a gap and that for the price of this spoiler it's a little bit of a let down, it's quality made at least mine is but that's all
As it was explained in the thread earlier the ends of the spoiler don't sit flush with the trunk probably by design as even the M3CS has the same little gap on every picture I have looked at
Here I just took a picture of the actual gap and decide for your self
It's same on both sides

You don't want it to be flush, you want it to have a slight reveal. The M Performance is the same way.

As others say, it sits on top of the trunk, with a tiny bit of margin space before the edge of the trunk (as on the actual CS models). The OEM fitment can be considered 'perfect' as it fits as designed, assuming it's installed properly. Attached, is an image (not a great fitment pic though) of my OEM CS spoiler on my F80.

No, that’s not the point of engineering.
