Question OEM m-tech spoiler?

Is this something you can still order from BMW as new?

If not, are the replicas that are currently out there of decent quality? If so, where's the cheapest place to grab one? I found one for about $110, no idea about the quality though

i think you can still order it. but its gonna cost ya an arm, a leg, a kidney and possibly your first child. lol. its just expensive. $110 sounds like an awesome deal for a replica, but good luck finding an original at that price. ebay has some spoilers too... i've seen a acs spoiler replica in there somewhere. GL.

Any idea about how much? I didn't see anything listed on RealOEM.com.. not sure where else I could look

I'm not opposed to spending money if the quality is worth the additional cost

Thanks dude, that helps a lot.

I wonder if that means painted or not?

If I got the $110 one, I'd have to pay about the same amount to get it painted.. Looking at the BMW dealer here, it lists that part for $273 (I searched by part # but no info on the actual part shows up on this dealer's page...)

With a spot for the m badge in the middle?

Correct! I bought a replica and the only difference is that the ///M decal is not on the spoiler. I paid about what you listed (110).

Have any good quality pictures of it from multiple angles?

And I mean, is there a spot for the sticker, or is it just placed on there in the center?

hey harold, get my text? im only asking for you to grab it for me if you go back and get anything else off that junked ti. btw, hows the new-old ti project going along? (pm me)but back to the original post... i think it just comes primered or something. i couldnt imagine it'd be painted already from the dealer without another lil fee...

Well, I don't think the Hartge will happen, they've destroyed their molds, and all dealers are out of stock, so.. basically someone will have to sell theirs or make a mold of it and start making replicas

Nothing left on the inside of the ti Marv.

Ken, good luck with your hunt and OEM works for me.

Too bad one of the ti owner can't let you borrow the Hartge spoiler so you can try to make a mold of it if this is what you want.

BAVAUTO sells replica painted but it's $400+. You can buy a replica painted from one of the internet company for $350 or $300 last time I checked. The BMW OEM one is no longer available from what I've heard from this site.

I saw the ACS one in person and not bad looking. But I really like the Reiger one for the sportier look. Saw it on a few ti in different colors and it looked sharp! My preference would be in this order.

1. Reiger
2. OEM
3. Hartge
4. ACS

Don't forget there is a rear window spoiler too if you like.

Check out the link for pics of the ACS and Hartge ti at BAVAUTO show. http://www.flickr.com/photos/stealth...7601069419107/
