2016 Azurite Black F80 with Vorsteiner GTS V Aero Carbon Fiber Front Spoiler

Needed a new bumper cover (don't ask!), so thought it would be a good opportunity to add a couple cosmetic fixes... After quite a lot of searching, I found this Vorsteiner spoiler which was very competitive with the OEM spoiler/splitter combo pricewise and had a lot more character, really completed the front end with a carbon fiber touch. Fell in love with my M3 all over again*.

Highly recommend this spolier, and the fit is perfect. My only problem now is preparing myself to stick the number plate back on the front....



(* I never fell out of love though!)

** The Vorsteiner part number is BMV 4220. I also added IND grill surrounds and reflector covers.

This combination looks great. Just to confirm - no access to tow hook?

Thanks, yes, it is very unique and I wanted something that looked (imho) better than the OEM option that you see more of... not sure if it is just switching back from the wife's Acura MDX but I am thinking there might be some additional traction/downforce benefit from this also.

Nope, still access to tow hook (though I've never used it). The lip does not stick out very much if at all from the bumper cover.

I actually find it looks a bit odd since it doesn’t extend to the edge of the bumper. My first reaction when I saw the picture was that it was broken

Interesting, because that's actually one aspect I really liked. I get that the OEM and others do extend and round off to the bumper edges, but I just felt that visually those spoilers look rounder/wider whereas this has a squarer, more aggressive style (obviously, that's just my personal preference).
