335i spoiler on a 135i

Hello all, I ordered my 135i a little over a month ago and it's finally just entered production. This is my first, of hopefully many, posts here. Anyways, I've been thinking of possible modifications to make to the car among other things during this very painful wait. One of the very few things I don't like much aesthetically is the trunk lid spoiler for the car. I do like however, the spoiler you can buy for the 335i coupe seen here:

http://accessories.bmwusa.com/ItemVi...&productId=708

This may have to get retrofitted to be installed in a 135i, but I haven't looked into it too much as of yet. Has anyone done this or thought of doing it already and found out it can or can not be accomplished? Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you guys.

the bmw performance spoiler for the 1 series looks much better. and i dont think that will be able to fit because the trunk sizes are different.

the curve on the 1 series trunk versus the relative flatness of the 3 series i think would make this not work.

That's a nice, subtle spoiler. I have to disagree, I think that spoiler might look pretty good given you can get it to fit properly.

Since you like that style spoiler maybe you should take a look at the AC Schnitzer style spoiler...it is very similar and made specific for the 1er coupe. Nick@Jlevi(his member name here on 1addicts) should be able to source you one.

Not bad. I think I like the one posted above better, but this is still tasteful.

800 bucks!!!

For that kind of money a spoiler should do the dishes AND give out daily blowjobs.

Forget what I posted earlier, that thing is way overpriced.

And you are surprised?
AC stuff has NEVER been cheap....just like Dinan has NEVER been cheap. I was merely throwing out a suggestion to the OP of what is available.

Where did you get the quote for the spoiler? I couldn't find anyone on the net selling it, but is that $800 painted? I really like the spoiler and most likely wouldn't mind paying $500-600 a few months from now.

^^^If you read my first post about the ACS spoiler it says to contact Nick@Jlevi.com (or Ali@Jlevi.com) they are an authorized vendor for ACS stuff...just remember ACS sells at a premium...always has.
