Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I was planning to get the spoiler before I got the car, too! That peel and stick stuff is pretty tough but I understand your concerns. It's an expensive piece you don't want to see NOT there six months from now.

How do you plan to remove your old spoiler? Sawing it off with dental floss and then using some kind of solvent for the residual sticky?

Please post pics! And if you have any install tips I would be in your debt!

Weakest component found in the car is between the steering wheel and the seat...

I wanted to get a set of the eBay cheapie pedal covers but none of them say the covers fit the M235i. Some folks have bought these and they fit, but can anyone provide a link to a specific vendor? I don't want to send China $45 unless I can be sure it will work. Thanks!

I can almost guarantee you they will fit. All the pedals are the same i seen those kits on pretty much every bmw model and they fit. I think some are even universal. The only thing i noticed is most are for auto.

Floss, heat gun, and Goo-B-Gone did the trick for me! Looks much cleaner in my opinion.

My 235ix is without any exterior badges. My friends 335i is too. Salesman promised that they take those off and I should get them. Hope so
