considering getting M3 spoiler on 03 330CI

I like the very conservative M-3 style spoiler. I have this stock on my 330i pp. The company is not bad, a little slow. I ordered the Imola Red license plate frames and the color seems the same but the gloss is not. For plate frames this is fine but I would check to make sure the spoiler finish will match the car, clear coat would probably need to be applied for the same effect. Overal my experience with them was good, I did remove the "BMW" lettering from the plate frames and had someone else do the lettering over because it was a bit cheap looking from bimmian.
you gotta remember that bimmian's from Canada I believe so they might be a little slow. People either have really good experiences with them or not so good, but that seems to be the same with pretty much every BMW mod company. I don't think they're really any worse than the others. They're a small operation so just keep that in mind. If you have a common color, then you'll likely be happy. If they have to specially paint it, you might be in trouble with the color matching.

I would not recommend it. Going through a mail order to get a painted spoiler no matter how small is insane. Remember, you get what you pay for. Yeah it's cheap on the website and believe me, i really considered getting one for my 04 330ci alpine white. I don't think the the piece at bimmian is authentic. And they paint it for you too...what happens is that even though you give them your paint code, each car is different in one shade or another no matter how minute it is. And, you have an alpine white color like mine. I ordered my spoiler and adhesive tape at the dealership and got it in a couple of days. Then I went to a body shop that the dealership uses and asked them to paint it. They said it was a piece of cake saying that they just painted antoher 03 alpine white and would do the same. I picked up the spoiler and he put it on the car and was not satisfied with the end result (this guy was awesome) and noticed that there was a little yellow hue and that he would paint it again to match up. MORAL: do you really want to send back your spoiler if it doesn't quite match up? Plus, it's so easy to put on. I actually found the instructions in this forum. Good Luck.
