Hello,
I received a M performance CF rear spoiler but was wondering if this is normal to have gap as you can see attached pictures. Thank you! |

I ordered one for my wife's M3 from getbmwpartscom but it came last week without the red 3M double-sided tape that was included on the CF rear spoiler for my M4. Was I supposed to order this when I ordered the spoiler? Does BMW have a part number for the adhesive?

Gap is supposed to be there. That is a result of the manufacturing process. It is no problem. They quit supplying the 3m tape both on the part and in the box. I ordered tape from amazon and got it next day.

The part number is 82-69-9-408-866, Betalink K1 Adhesive Kit, $38.64. While searching for information on Betalink, I came across a thread on the M5 forum from 2016 where an owner posted that he had installed the CF rear spoiler on his M5 with the double-sided 3M tape and it was promptly stolen within 48 hours. He bought another one and used Betalink and stated that there's no way that it's coming off. Maybe repeated incidents like this are why BMW went back to Betalink, which is apparently what they used before the 3M double-sided tape, as far back as 2006, maybe longer.

Exactly it ain't coming off without damaging the paint which is why I would never use it. Had many Bmws all with c.f. add-ons affixed with 3m tape.
Never had any come off and never had any stolen. If they want the Fukin thing they can have it that's what insurance is for...

I have no problem taking the risk of being able to remove the spoiler cleanly using fishing line vs. prying it off & damaging my paint People don't steal body parts off cars in the area I live

Me either. But then I actually drive my car outside my neighborhood. Too bad you're stuck at home. And why would you pry it off if you've already installed it?

Wow. Well, the CS lip is pretty involved from what I've seen. The diffuser you can do yourself. Very easy. Try calling another dealer or two.

Evidently from what I'm told, so take it with a grain of salt, from the guys at the dealer. M4 still uses tape, M3 spoiler uses the liquid adhesive. Not sure why there is a difference between the two. But mine came with 2 boxes. Spoiler, and the liquid adhesive.
