phew!, I took the car for a country road twisty drive. Took a pic of the car (several in fact) and have been in a dilema whether to fit a rear spoiler or not. Cast your votes and opinions

I'd got with the standard type with the brake light. I fitted one to mine (well,
I mean professionally fitted) and I love the result. I was contemplating a GT type but I'm glad I went with the standard one. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

I've gone for leaving it as it is. Thats on the basis that I'm presuming it didn't come with one as standard and that its thereby nothing but cosmetic tack. I don't think any of the options improve the look of the car - but leaving it as it is means you're left with what looks like a very nice car already. -------------

Can't make my mind up - but to have a roof spoiler I think you'd have to have a standard boot spoiler as well.

The rear spoiler was part of the aerodynamic styling included in the sport pack as fitted to the 318is. this is the sport pack spec,

| Keep the shape as clean as possible and leave as is IMO. A lip is too E46 wannabe and the other options are a bit drastic. |

I would fit a spoiler, but a rear lip style as the one shown here;
I have a normal spoiler on mine, going to take that off and fit it onto our demo car and then get myself one of these - I think they keep the lines clean but subtly add that that special touch
