Does it perform a function that makes the car faster? Better? More aerodynamic? Or is it simply for aesthetics?

I think its really just for looks. However, on my GT4 i can tell you that adjusting the front and rear aero did make a difference. Not that this car is in that same vane... but one thing that i find interesting is that back in 2011, BMW still was in F1 and they had access to wind tunnel testing. From what I understand, the M3 and this car were both tested in the wind tunnel for performance. so its probably perfect from the factory. HOWEVER, i just love the look of a spoiler.
