And how long was delivery?

Mines was a Tiawan job as recommended on here mate. £90 sprayed and delivered. Perfect match too.

Getting my wee scrape sorted and adding a spoiler

Dealer fit. Great job and I thought their price was reasonable enough.

Fitted on mine, looks the part.

I so want one of these for my 4-series. So, so, so, want, want, want

Note - there is 1 (just 1) on ebay - its from BMW Hull, and £370. I want one from asia.

Call me a snob but no idea why someone would put a Taiwan knock off on their prestige German car. I would cringe every time I saw it no matter how well it looked. If you pay £30k+ for a car why save £100 on a cheap copy??

Seriously, who cares how much it costs, if it looks good it looks good. It's just a small cosmetic piece.

I guess the saloon does need all the help it can to look good

Kia sportage looks good. Why not buy that?

Not in my opinion, but that's slightly off topic. Now a Lamborghini LP700-4 looks good.

I was referring to your comment regarding the boot spoiler:

"I would cringe every time I saw it no matter how well it looked"

So if it looked really good, why would you cringe every time you saw it? Because it cost $100 rather than the $300 odd for the BMW one?

Anyways, each to their own.

Snob.

I got the black grills off eBay, and they look no different to OEM. So why pay more?

[AdamW]

Yep,I have the eBay spoiler, is 100% and fits perfect. I've looked at a friendss that has the bmw official version and we literally couldn't tell the difference

[Afy360]

99% of my wardrobe is made in Asia, and it all looks good, regardless of which company had it made there.

Let me know if you have any luck sourcing from Asia. I would love to see side by side comparison as I can't decide if it will make a huge visual difference on a 4 series.

[pmheadwired]

I think the spoiler is a nice addition.

Its not in your face and distasteful, it looks in place on the car.

If money was not an object I would get the full hog OEM M Performance kit but given there is little or no noticeable difference in the spoiler then the one that cost a 1/3 of the price seems a more sensible option to me.

I got mine done from the dealer before collecting as I had ants in my pants. Friend of mine got his off eBay after getting his car. No one can tell.
If you saw a 3 with a spoiler would you really sit there trying to work out if it's OEM or a knock off? Me thinks not.

Unless there is something strikingly wrong with it not you, me or anyone else are ever going to know it's not OEM.

Speaking as someone who let a main dealer rape me for the best part of £400 quid id wish I'd waited, got the knock off and spent the change on or towards another mod.

Now I know I'm probably opening a smelly can of worms here but even with watches, unless I really want the real thing I'm happy with a knock off that looks as good as the real one.

The quality of copied parts (all types of stuff) has overall improved dramatically.

Some is just good copying, straightforward copy of itemA.

Other stuff is down to someone where item A is made, making extra stuff on same tooling line (it happens and is a pain trying to catch them at it ).

Some copies could even be made at same plant as actual item.

Admittedly it is always a risk buying known copies, but often is best way.

However, I never buy fake electrical stuff as some is very dodgy and even locals don't use some lol.

But it's not £100 cheaper than oem, it's around £450 fitted and sprayed from BMW , so it's £380 cheaper!! That is a seriously large amount of money for any 3 series owner!!

Really, you feel good with a knock off watch? It's not about whether anyone knows it's cheap rubbish, it's you. You can drive knowing you have a real bmw car...anyone with a toy spoiler doesn't have a bmw anymore....

You're weakening the quality and brand of your car which seems crazy to me. Why not buy some retread tyres too?
