    small lip

    Is there anything that would fit on an e30 that resembles a e39 m5 rear trunk lip. its just that tinny thing smaller than the e30 is one. i think e46 m3s have it and s4's.

    you can buy the e46 m3 on and trim it to fit.... its just double stick tape that holds it on

      I've put one up to my car before (my friend bought one for his E36), it would never come close to fitting an E30. It's about 4" too narrow, and has some major curving whereas the E30 trunk is almost a straight line across.

          How though? There is no way to overcome the curve without ruining the lip.

            Yea I swore there was a ebay thing for alittle lip spoiler like the E46 M3s have. But why not just get an 'iS' lip spoiler?

              There are. They just don't fit E30s.

                  Certainly doesn't look like an E30 in the picture.

                        The lips are somewhat flexible, I've seen it before on a calypso
                        325e, it looked ok at best, actually it didn't look good at all.

                          That one on eBay made for the E30? Got any pics?

                            I just like the looks of an e30 thats done up with no spoiler,and imo an is lip ruins that. i was just wondering if an even smaller lip would work.

                              the is spoiler is pretty small IMO, and considering the girth of the rieger lip I'm not sure it's really enough. But I'm not sure if I even want a rear spoiler, it's not going to serve much function and it's really easy to clean a spoiler-less trunk lid!
