The definitive E36 LTW Spoiler Replica Thread

[Sammyzuko]

I picked up the Poland ltw to use on my M3/4. I won’t be installing it. Looks to be maybe a 1/2 inch too narrow. Just a heads up for others with a 4 door considering this.

How are the coupe wings too narrow for the sedan when the sedan is a narrower car than the coupe?

It's like a few mm's difference, just has to do with the trunk line, it's a bit wider on the sedan vs coupe.

p.s. if you still interested in that sedan base I have... basically sell you the base OEM if you're interested?

I know it's been a long time but would you happen to know what material the OEM LTW spoiler was made from? A small piece has broken off mine at the sharp end of the base, and I don't know what type of glue to repair it with.

So if I were to order one today it is either going to be the $750 MAShaw + shipping from Santa Ana which I could see from the mountain my house is on or the $270 Poland one shipping included which is a miserable over half a day flight from me? For the price difference you'd expect the MAShaw to be pristine, perfect, plum...

I figured I'd give the ebay duraflex a shot. The fitament between the upper and lower pieces is....interesting to say the least. I do a lot of fiberglass work myself so I'm not scared of adding some filler. I might glass it a little taller for fun. The wing part is one piece without the blocks. I'd give it 5/10. After some filler to mold the end caps so they actually line up with the lip spoiler section it should do just fine, but out of the box, meh

Anyone know where you can get mounting parts for them?

So this is the same one that abrahams used to sell? looks like the same part number. I ordered it, we will see. https://www.schmiedmann.mk/en/bmw-E3...?product=H575K

Woah, yes that's it. Guess they got it back in stock? That's quite the steal even with shipping.

Edit: just noticed "Out of stock. Expected in stock 40 working days after ordering"

Indeed. If it's a Lester at that price, I will order too.

Any update on this? I've been looking for a quality rep for a long time.

Lester is totally gone, so unless they found a stockpile, I wouldn't think it could be. Call them and ask though. I have found schmeidmann to be quite helpful in the past.

It's definitely not a lester. Even on the website it said that it was fiberglass/composite. So has to be someone else making them. At this point, kinda giving up on Lester/Abraham wings and will prob just settle with one of the wings I have. But painting stuff isn't priority right now.

[itsam3mario]

Any info on the Schmiedmann? How does it look ??

So I got and installed the one from schmiedmann. Fits decent enough not perfect but good. Seems kinda flimsy but cheap price. Couldn't figure how to attach pictures. See attached link for pics.

Hey guys,

Was just wondering if anyone could please help me out.

I've managed to get a replica ltw/ gt wing but unfortunately risers are like unobtainium here for me and importing isn't really an option due to the bad exchange rate and high import costs so I'm planning to try make a pair myself, is there anyway someone could please give me a rough measurement of the height of their risers from the front of the riser and from the back of the riser.



It would be greatly appreciated!

Link isn't working. Was also thinking about getting one from them, how long did it take for you to get yours?

[propcar]

Most of the wings don't fit perfect, like alignment of wing to risers. OEM ones aren't necessarily perfect either. I've seen some replicas actually have cleaner fitment than OEM.

[busterhax]

80% of the body panels and trim pieces on the e36 don't line up "perfect" by today's standards.

sure don't... doesn't bother me!

[M3RRICA]

Update on the wing from schmiedmann was road tripping down to zions with some GT3's and the wing snapped in half going 125 mph, so probably wouldn't recommend. Probably going to the the Mashaw wing now.

[notMpowered]

Jesus Christ. That’s no bueno. I’ve seen Lester wings do the same.
