Need advise on some sort of rear wing....
Hi all,i am debating on getting some sort of rear wing for the back of the car...
Don't know which way to go...I know the M-Technic wing is appr. $650.00,that is way too much...What are my other options,and do you guys have any pix of your "rear-ends" ( CARZ ONLY...WISE-GUYZ)
thanx....

Suggest you leave the rear wings to the ricers.
Sorry, but I think they look ugly and stupid. Do you have an EAT chip, yet?

I agree- Most body mods look "strange"

For those of you looking to lose the E34 M5 / Technic (Rieger... Kamei...etc) style wings, let me know... I've been looking.

Made by Hella, but looks like a BMW part in all other ways. No idea of price, previous owner had it fitted.

I think the one by Hella is an OEM BMW product, not sure though.
Not bad,kinda on the lines i was thinking....
thanx.

for possible rear wing options.
hehehehe...
seriously... M-tech, or maybe AC Schnitzer. But if you don't have an M5, you won't really need the rear wing. A big one just looks dumb if your car can't hit speeds that need it... the only subtle one that looks good for me is the M5 one.
If you have an E34, I think you might be better off doing the 540i brake duct upgrade. I'm still undecided on this one for my car.

Yeah, I suspect that too. Hella seem to make a lot of stuff for BMW, it's just a lot cheaper with a Hella badge on it. Go figure...

Well, for the same reason T-shirts with the name "Armani" on them are more expensive...
What I do NOT get however, is how 3rd party shops like BMA, or here in the Philippines, European Motors, can SELL BMW parts a lot cheaper than the dealer.
On the Hella note... I also suspect that the new i-Drive systems and IR night vision systems found on the new Bimmers are also developed, or at the least, co-developed by Hella as well.
