Has anyone ran across a 2-3" gurney flap that fits the trunk of the E36? Aesthetically tolerant is a good feature... I've tried lookin' but just have been striking out :/
I assume you mean a small lip directly on the trunk (no wing installed). AFAIK gurney flaps are generally rubber and are added to existing aero devices, like the gurney flaps Braymond141 offers on his website: msportparts -- gurney flap. I don't know of a rubber gurney flap/lip that fits directly to the trunk, but there are other non-rubber options available:
1. For a subtle lip, check out E46 M3 trunk lip if your car is a coupe. E39 M5 trunk lip for sedans. Both lips will fit E36 coups and sedans, but the M3 lip will be ~1/4" short on each side on a coupe trunk, and the M5 lip will overhang a coupe's trunk ~1/8" on each side. Some people prefer the M5 lip on their coupe, some don't. Here's a thread covering fitment.
2. There are also eBay lips, varying in size and shape (this one is for sedans). Of course you're taking a slight gamble on fitment/quality, but at ~$45 you may like your chances.
3. There are also larger lips like this one from cliquetuning. I don't know anything about that company or their products, just remembered they had a larger lip available.
What sort of size/style/material are you looking for? Any lips on other cars you've seen that you liked? That may help us narrow down a similar version for the E36. Hope that helps!

This helps a lot. Id want one between 33ish-75mm but following same contour along trunk (I have a sedan). Ideally, it would be rigid as it should be. Given I got enough of a crude model made up in some aero programs, I walked away with a height of ~1.25-3inches as the height range I need. The angled back ones/ non perpendicular... well, not all that functional (and ugly as sin IMHO).
Braymond, thats a good looking one for sure! Mighty tempting too. Literally that very one but if 30mm in height, itd be perfect.
It was either a spoiler or an adjustable end plate mounted wing which doesnt exist. The spoiler is way more budget friendly verse printing up stanchions and getting a center element designed.

I got a couple of these from Braymond141 a couple of years ago. They are very nicely done.
