F22 228 & M235i CSL Trunk
Hey whats going on guys, so I have been speaking with a company about potentially developing a CSL style trunk similar to those found popularly on the e9x platform. I believe it is a very clean look opposed to just a trunk lip spoiler.
Here is an idea of what it would look like, usually there are different kick heights and it is generally a full carbon fiber trunk that can be painted as desired. So anyone interested please comment and let me know what you think and what type of kick you would be interested in seeing (low kick, medium kick, high kick). Hopefully we can make it happen!

I don't like what I'm seeing at all on that 3 Series. What would interest me more is taking the surface data off an MPerformance spoiler on a 2 Series decklid and fabricating that into one continuous piece as a new decklid.

A body shop can mold an MPerformance spoiler to your existing decklid and make it look as if it's one piece so I don't think molding them and trying to sell it as a new part is the right approach. The idea of this post is to try and get enough interest in different product types so new development can continue. Without growth all 2 series' will look the same and will follow a cookie cutter approach to modding. Why limit ourselves? Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion but I can't wrap my head around how everyone loses their minds when the suggestion for a new product is being suggested. |

Also, as a marketer, please realize some of us are aiming for an attractive appearance, per se, and don't care in the slightest if others have the same. If a seamless MPerformance appearance can be done and simply looks better, something less attractive does not win simply by being different. Good luck with your project. |

You read my mind! Good luck and please keep us updated on how it goes. I forgot to add that I would be interested in a medium kick.

Agreed. I think ducktails belong on Porsche, not BMW. I'm not 100% sure it even helps with downforce.

This whole thread is about appearance, but a spoiler serves an aerodynamic purpose. Whatever design is decided upon it would have to be tested in a wind tunnel to see how the ride characteristics are affected. Looks great, drives like s**t doesn't work unless you never get over 40mph.

I would like to see a low kick for sure and maybe a medium kick. I have seen a few e90's with those and imo they don't look too bad. The only thing that could go wrong is that it doesn't end up looking good with the F22 body style. That is what I am afraid of. But that trunk lip looks pretty good on the e90. That's just my opinion though...
