M4 CF Rear Deck Spoiler comparison CS vs. non-CS

[JRV-F82-M4]

I am interested in purchasing a M Performance CF Rear Deck Spoiler for my M4. There are 2 different OEM models I am interested in:

1) F82 M4 CS CF Rear Spoiler - #51-62-8-076-046 - $760
2) F82 M4 CF Rear Spoiler - #51-19-2-350-722 - $478

Before I decide which one to go with, I was hoping someone could post some pics of them or point me to a link that illustrates them.

Thank you,
Jeff

Yes, but looking at a pic you can't always tell if it's the original m-perf one or a knockoff...

Anyways - here's a real oem 51-19-2-350-722 for you.

And here's the CS one

They are similar but the CS one doesn't go down onto the back of the trunk like the normal one, and is mounted further forward.

Thank you so much, this is helpful, however, I am still torn on which one to get...I like them both. I would still like to see a side view, and hear some feedback from people who have seen them both on which one they prefer. The non-CS version is half the price. Thanks again, Jeff

I don't have a side view pic on my pc unfortunately, sorry. As for which is nicer, I think the non-cs one I have. The CS one looks out of place to me.

Thank you again, I will continue to investigate, but I think I agree that the non-cs rear spoiler looks better.

Something to consider is that M-Performance one is mostly for esthetics while the CS one is aerodynamically functional. Installing only the CS rear deck spoiler without augmenting the front aerodynamic downforce can upset the car's balance at higher speeds (more understeer).

Wow! You are amazing and a real asset to this forum. I have read many of your posts and they have been very thoughtful, informative and helpful. Thank you for all of your considerate responses to us novices, keep up the good work. While I don’t really drive this car at high speeds (not much understeer in the bumper-to-bumper traffic on the parkway), I think I am leaning towards the Non-CS version.
