Finally came across some decent aero for the F25. Anyone on here have this same one?

This is only my opinion so dont take it personally but that thing is hideous and very tacky.

That's a great price and you know there are few options available for us....I would go for it, and I actually might myself. Still looking for a rear diffuser myself, and I have always wondered if x4 rear diffusers are interchangeable with the x3?

too bad its not for 2011....

Not a fan, needs to be something that replaces the existing one so it blends in rather than just stuck on top of the stock one making it look out of place. I'm sure it increases wind resistance. Just my opinion...

Some test fitting pics

How does it attach?

[najnad]

Wonder why it says 2013 - 2016? all F25 X3's have the same trunk lid...should fit all of them...

I like it, but I would probably get it painted to match the body.

Up close pics are nice, but a few shots with the entire car in the pic would show the overall look and profile.


I agree that painting it the same color as the car would make it stand out less and blend in more, unless people like that look.

The fitment was not the best, I used a heat gun to contour the edges a bit to fit more flush. Seems to match the cf exhaust tips so I'm just going to leave it as is. Maybe paint match in the future if it fades.

Some more

[najnad]

I think it looks good! Since your X3 is black, the CF doesn't stick out as much as other colors, so I wouldn't worry about painting it either. My X3 is blue, so it would stick out.

While looking for the one you bought, my search brought up two other spoiler options:

AC Schnitzer makes one, CF also but more of an added lip than a complete coverage of the old spoiler.

And then there is one from CX (?) that is a bit more "interesting":

I like the look actually but I don't like it in cf - would look better painted.

[rcsup1]

Looks like they have a decent looking front lip! I have a universal one coming that I order off ebay, super cheap If cant get to work/look right I may give this a shot.

[pungo]

Looks better than I thought it would, especially on a black vehicle since it blends in better, though not my preference, but that's just me.

[E90705]

Some daylight/sunlight pics the sides do not sit flush. Fitment not that great, disappointed.

[najnad]

Maybe if you handed it over to a professional body shop they could sand/shave/bend/etc the spoiler to make it fit better?

Expensive mistake

[E90705]

Tried to show the cf in daylight angle. You'd expect fitment to fit right as they most likely used a 3D printer to mold the test models prior to production/selling.

[TheCoolX3]

Something I've experienced with China's finest CF body pieces is that the sun warps them causing it to bend more and fit less. Likely only going to get worse fitting with time.

Since it's stuck on top of the existing spoiler, I don't see how it could possibly be a smooth transition with the rest of of bodywork without it completely replacing the stock spoiler? It looks disproportionate to the rest of the body lines of the vehicle so it definitely looks like an aftermarket add on stuck onto the existing bodywork. A good design is one that makes it look like it could have been made that way from the factory.
