Does anyone know how to put an E46 M3 trunk lip spoiler on an E36 M3?

[Magic M3]

Im wondering if anyone has done this mod... Ive seen it many times. If someone has done it.... would you let me know how to do it? Was there any modifications done to the lip upon installation?

Lastly.. does anyonehave pics... thanks

Oh... it has to be done to a 4 dr M3 E36

I believe CMT has an M5 spoiler on his e36 M3 so hopefully he can throw his input in....

i believe it goes like this. the e46 m3 trunk spoiler fits about right to the e36 2 dr's. and the e39 m5 trunk spoiler fits about right to e36 4 dr's. No modification necessary, to install i think u use 3m double side tape, and that's it.

Mine is from the now nonexistant Autobahn Performance Tuning, but I believe it is a replica of the M5 lip spoiler. It is attached by double-sided GM bumper and molding tape, which usually lasts about a season before I take it off for the winter, or whenever I decide to go spoilerless.

Magic M3, these are all the pics I have, and they really don't show how it slightly hangs over the side of the trunk. If you have a sedan, the M5 spoiler will fit perfectly, as will the E46 M3 spoiler if you opt for it.

i think you can only use the M5 lip spoiler on e36s because its more flat compared to the E46 m3 spoiler. if you look closely the trunk on e46s has a rounded edge to them compared to the e36s. so the M5 is the only spoiler that will fit.

I love the look of the e46 m3 lip spoiler or m5 spoiler....chris it loooks amazing! I was wondering if anyone makes it in cf?

Yea, its really easy to fit on... You may want another person to assist you when you lay it on the trunk. The adhesive if you get the good one is really sticky, so once it touches it wont go anywhere, therefore, you want to get the right alignment the first time!! I think you can get the adhesive at the Bmw dealer, and if you have a coupe I would go m5 lip! also, it is somewhat flexible so make sure you get it on perfect the first time!

I lined both an M5 and M3 lip on my LTW/GT mid wing , The E46M3 followed the contour better and only would need a little bit of filing on both ends on the rear side to follow the contour . The M5 lip would have to be cut down on both sides. I sold my lip though.

E39 M5 Lip Spoiler - E36 4Dr Sedan
E46 M3 Lip Spoiler - E36 2Dr Coupe / Convertible

The Part Number of the M5 Lip Spoiler is : P/N - 51717901594 ... they are really reasonably priced from the dealer so that is where I picked mine up ...

The Part Number of the Adhesive Tape used on the M3/M5 to attach these lip spoilers is : P/N - 51710141495 ... This is excellent stuff, and it wont move when its put on, so get your bodyshop to do a good job of it ...

Here are a couple of pictures, the only ones I have at the moment, however, they are on my 4 Door E36 Sedan, so they should give you a okay idea:

Good Luck... ... I personally really like the look myself !!

do the E46 M3 and the M5 spoliler look 100% the same besides the slight length difference?

[Bimmer]

pretty much , The E46 M3 lip has alittle bit more of a bow .
