This is all super helpful! I’m leaning towards a functional spoiler but not sure if I should prioritize aesthetics over performance. Any thoughts?
Totally get it, @bwatson! I think it’s about finding a balance. A spoiler can enhance both looks and aerodynamics, provided you pick the right one.
True! But I’ve seen some ridiculous spoilers on M2s. Might as well strap a parachute on!
Haha, good point @zunigateresa! I think a tastefully designed spoiler can look awesome while still being functional. Just don’t go overboard!
I find it fascinating how even minor adjustments in a rear spoiler can affect speed and handling! Anyone have scientific insights?
Aerodynamically, a well-designed spoiler can increase downforce significantly, improving traction, especially at high speeds. There’s a sweet spot for balance!
Considering OEM spoilers for the BMW M2 ensures you get quality and perfect fitment. But they can be pricey compared to aftermarket options. If you’re sporting a budget, aftermarket might be your best bet!
That’s true, but OEM options can sometimes lack the visual flair of well-made aftermarket designs! Have you checked the aesthetics?

I always lean towards aftermarket parts! They often come with unique styles. Just make sure to research the brand’s reputation for quality and durability!

Exactly! Plus, many aftermarket spoilers come with more aggressive designs that can enhance the overall look of your M2!
That is a key point! I’ve seen some really cheap aftermarket options that don’t last, which can be a huge bummer. Quality matters!
Agreed! But sometimes, you just want that extra flair that comes with a custom aftermarket spoiler!
Don’t forget about warranties! OEM usually comes with solid warranties, while some aftermarket brands might not. It’s a trade-off between risk and reward.
What do you all think about installation? OEM spoilers may be easier to install due to designed fit, while some aftermarket needs modification or advanced skills.

Good point, Emily! OEM might save you some headaches during installation. But if you’re handy, aftermarket can offer some cool customization!
True that, though a buddy of mine once spent a whole weekend trying to fit an aftermarket one — it was worth the laugh!
LOL! That sounds like quite the adventure! But really, it emphasizes the importance of choosing the right one based on your skills and style preference.
In the end, it boils down to what you value more - warranty & fitment or looks & customization. What’s everyone’s top priority?
