Now I know what type of music you like & listen to Brian. Just kidding. That screen protector is nice & wonder if they make a unit for the pre-LCI screens. Please post a link when you can...

And the G80 M3 CF steering wheel shift paddles are awesome!

Here you go, I am certain they make one for the pre lci. My question is, I ordered the one for the the dash screen also. However they only offer one for the 12.3in X5 it seems like the same so I
ordered it. Does anyone know if it's the same for sure? Thx, will post other stuff once installed.

I purchased one of those dash ones and it didn't fit because of the cut out for the awareness camera. I ended up just going without it since you never touch the dash one anyway.

no, i didn't. I am considering to take it to a shop to help me do it. This spoiler is kind of a bad design, they should have made it one piece.

The repair instructions state to use Betalink in the indicated spots. I can't believe the damn thing didn't fly off already with just those two tiny piece of 3M tape holding it on…

I finally got the istep update (now S15A-22-03-552) and ordered 254/295 PS4S, not sure when they'll arrive though.

Finally out in my KW V3s today. What a job it was thanks to BrockDM for the guidance. KW instructions for the EDC delete are terrible. The lowest quote I got for install was $900 and most was $1500. Now I'll just buy something with the extra money.

The dealer that sold me the spoiler didn’t give me the instructions. I just followed a YouTube video. Otherwise I repositioned it and it’s ok now, the sun heated up the 3m tape is still very sticky. I went to a body shop and they help me just set it more center. I’ve gone over 130 several times today and it’s still on so I will occasionally check on it. If it lifts at any part then I’ll place some betalink. Anyone know where to find the official install instructions on this wing?

Mine came brand new from the dealers in a sealed box straight from Germany. No instructions in mine either.

I followed the YouTube video and used Betalink. It’s extremely messy stuff as the plastic plunger provided for the tube gives up after a while and Betalink starts oozing everywhere! Wear tight fitting disposable gloves.

I guess that the main dealers have some sort of instruction on their systems.
To be honest the only instruction needed is where to put the Betalink and there’s a tread already on the X3/4 forum that shows this. The rest is pretty much common sense. Photo below, the yellow marked areas is where I ran a bead of Betalink. Have some rubbing alcohol and plenty of paper towel handy to wipe the excess away I clamped the ‘prong’ parts of the spoiler down over night to set. I replaced the whole lot so did it off the car which was easier.

The lighter grey areas you can just about see on mine is the Betalink.

Coded in the Neon Pink ambient lighting - much nicer than lilac and really works well with the black cabin.

Instructions for M-Perf Rear Spoiler

but Shaun170 basically went over the most relevant part (where to apply betalink).

tbh im not a fan of betalink as it can get messy so i'll try adding VHB in those areas before going that route. i never had issues with VHB 3M tape as it's super strong... to the point where i had to destroy an old spoiler when uninstalling because it wasn't coming off.
