Just wanted to make a dedicated post for this.

As of a couple weeks ago the M Performance Spoiler is now available for the G01 (and F97 with additional replacement to a factory G01 base spoiler).

Rear flow through spoiler - 51 19 2 464 329 MSRP $852
In conjunction parts;
Pressure lip front - 51 11 8 090 920 MSRP $44
Adhesive K1 Betalink - 82 69 9 408 866 MSRP $35

Spoiler comes in gloss black as shown in photos. Comes with some 3M tape already attached in certain spots. The other areas need K1 Betalink adhesive.

Wow, looks great! Is the "M Performance" a sticker or is it etched into the spoiler?

It's etched onto the spoiler and can not be removed

what is the adhesive? I have the area wrapped in PPF and not sure I want to use a different adhesive (other than two sided tape) on the spoiler. Any insight? it looks hot though. I'd plan to probably cover the M performance logo with black vinyl for a cleaner look.

K1 Betalink. It is a black adhesive that is used on the two sharp pieces on the end and also on the forward mounting spots on the right and left side of the spoiler. Where there is no 3M tape.

I edited this photo to show where the adhesive goes

It's tacky then it cures but is still rubbery like.

I'm not 100% sure. Not sure I can guarantee 150mph on just PPF.

Lovely lovely, I really want to see it in person, how is the fitment. I really like X3M style rear spoiler, a little bit subtle, not as giant as this one, but very streamlined, fits perfectly with the back of the car.

Don't think much of the thick yellow tape you have to put on it so it doesn't fall off the car - would have thought the tape on the underside of it would have been enough???

Very strange they didn't include tape that matches the colour of the car even???

Are you being sarcastic here? I feel like you might not be.

Tape is to hold down while the adhesive and 3M double sided tape cure.

Yup looks good. We need official completed product pics. And then a new thread for a group buy. Because we all will now want one.

freshxdough: Thanks for posting these photos. When you get a chance, can you post pics from a little bit further away, maybe a three quarters rear view - to get a good appreciation of how it looks.

I will do my best guys. My car is absolutely filthy but I will be washing tomorrow and taking some pics. Will get a lot of angles. Hopefully enough to convey how much it sticks out and how much extra it gives the upper rear
