Attachment of oem rear spoiler.

How does BMW do this from the factory? Is it a tape or something similar to betalink? Because I know whenever you go to the dealership for an spoiler install they will use or recommend betalink.
Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't search with the app.

Mine was 3M tape, and I had to use a 3M tape remover wheel on my drill to remove it.

Double sided 3M auto tape. I'd never use beta link personally.

3M tape all day long. I have to remove mine due to idiots at the carwash putting the nozzle too close to the tape and tearing it up at some parts, and believe me it was a struggle to get off. I ended up sitting there with fishing line and acetone before it would come off. 3M outdoor tape will hold it on through a damn nuclear holocaust.
