I was skimming around on the internet looking at car parts I don't need that I will somehow justify to myself to buy down the road when I came across this. Alibaba CSL style carbon trunk for 1ers. Minimum amount purchased is 5 and max price is $350 (some links under the same search from the same supplier state $300). Obviously it's some Chinese exporter knocking off a name brand, BUT it could be awesome. I mean, for all we know it could show up and be the $88 shipped trunk spoiler all over again (great quality and fitment). Or it could be terrible. Although I doubt it as it states quality issues are returnable and exchangeable. Here's the link.

What are your guys's thoughts? A bit too much of a risk? Maybe worth it? Chime in, praise me, flame me, whatever you want

Firstly, I've fixed your link: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/72...CSL_Trunk.html

Secondly, That's JC Sportline. http://www.jcsportline.net/en/default.html

You may have more luck dealing with them via their website rather than via an intermediary-ebay-knockoff site...

Yes I mentioned that in my original post, one of the reasons I posted this. Sort of to gauge interest and gather peoples thoughts. I went to JC Sportline's site, and they do list the E82 CSL trunk for sale(although they show it on an E90) but it didn't show price for some reason. I sent them an email confirming its fit of the 1-series and asking their best price of the trunk shipped to the CONUS. If after shipping it's close to $600 I'd rather go with Schmiedmann's Evo trunk.
