Hey guys,

I was recently shopping for rear spoilers and was doing a fair amount of research on brands and user experiences. There were some mentions of ebay/AliExpress but never a lot of follow up after someone pulled the trigger.

I wanted to share my experience with an AliExpress spoiler I ordered:
I ordered a carbon fiber spoiler from a Chinese seller on AliExpress. The spoiler was about $100 with $50 for shipping. The spoiler actually arrived within a week of ordering it. I thought it might take up to a month being it was coming from China but I was wrong.
The quality of the spoiler is actually very very good. I could not make out any imperfections in the carbon fiber. The fitment was also perfect. Both corners sit perfectly flush on the trunk and there are no gaps. I even used the supplied 3M they installed on the underside of the spoiler. All in all I had a great experience. See the pictures below.

Nice. I also got one a couple of weeks ago, but hasn't arrived yet. I hope I'll have a similar experience as yours.

I don't think the 3M is original though so I was thinking of using something else to install it. I guess it's too soon for you to say if there are any problems with the original adhesive yet.

Don't cheap out on the tape and use the 3M Adhesion Promoter. My spoiler isn't going anywhere.

Nice! Glad to see others have tried these out successfully. I almost bought that spoiler from EBay but ended up getting a different one instead - link below. I ordered it Thursday and it arrived at my shop in SLC on Saturday. Will have it mounted next week (getting a bunch of suspension work done at the same time) so will confirm on fitment and quality once done!

Got mine off amazon and fitment was perfect. Seller was on ebay also but bought from amazon for faster shipping and better refund process if anything went wrong.


Follow my page and you'll see how i finish my build

Hi guys, i was wondering if anyone knows the best supplier for ebay/aliexpress for bmw parts and accessories? Also on another note, i bought a spoiler for a car a while back that was exactly the same color as the car, i now have a 2 series in sunset orange and i want a spoiler that matches it perfectly for the sunset orange color. I am also looking for a front lip/spoiler for the front in the same color. Also, does anyone know the absolute cheapest place to get the gloss black grill? Thanks

Do you have a picture of the side of your whole car with the spoiler on it? I am thinking of ordering this one. Do you think its too big at all? Do you think you should have gotten the m4 one? I am on the fence about either one. Was also thinking of getting this spoiler and painting it to the color of my car. What do you guys think?
