the M5 looks much better, the M3 spoiler will look like something is missing from it; (The M5 is small enough as it is)...
I say get it; love the look. So subtle.
I wish someone would have the ball (cash) to experiment with the RS6 or GS spoiler; apparently someone's working on the GS spoiler, but no progress pics

I'm not so sure i'm a fan of the GS430 spoiler -
i remember type r saying that the scion TC spoiler was a perfect fit; and if I remember correctly, someone mentioned the audi a6 spoiler but was too scared to try it.
there's some options out there. i've had my m5 lip spoiler for quite some time now, and to tell you the truth, i'm thinkin of either molding it or tryin a different spoiler.

did you get the one off ebay or ccc? do you need a heat gun to mount or is it just 3m tape? why does it look like the tips are not flush with the trunk. its not very noticeable but when i looked really closely at your pic it looks like theres a lil gap.

make sure you tell body shop that paints it to use lots of flex primer.

[how does one "feel" different??
lol hes crazy. they are no difference in looks or "feel" the genuine one is a little more flexible thats about it. and it says bmw on the underside]
I guess I did a bad job of describing. When I first ordered it lip, it was a replica and it was flimsy, like a rubber hose. I mean really cheap. I would imagine if you put it on your trunk and squeezed it, it would feel like rubber. I sent that crap back and got an authentic BMW lip and it was waay more rigid, I think polyeurothane (or whatever its made of). This definitly "felt" like a actual car part.
Hope that clarifies it a bit.

makes it even harder to understand what you're really trying to convey. That said, I DOUBT any spoiler feels like a "rubber hose". what kind of
is that!?! Furthermore, the fact you describe the spoiler as it "definately felt like an actual car part" just further proves that you've never checked under your hood before. Might wanna open that up once in a while to change your oil. There's some rubber hoses down there too.
