Hey guys, I haven't seen any reviews for this particular replica sold by DriftShop.com, so I decided to start this thread for your information. I ordered the wing a week ago expecting it to take at least a month to arrive, but it's already here! It's for coupe, and I believe it's made out of fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP).
It's a four piece replica, comes ready primed, and also includes 8 star-bit screws. I'll be dropping it off at a shop tomorrow to get it prepped and painted. It looks like it could use a bit of sanding here and there, and there are some pits, but nothing major. I paid 250 euro for the wing, plus about 140 euro shipping, and an additional $70 Canadian for duties.
I'll keep updating this thread as I go through the process of installing it.
Here's the link for the replica wing: https://www.driftshop.com/m3-gt-ltw-...g-bmw-e36.html

OP, when you added images there was an additional "?1" when linking to the source media. Could be a copy paste error.
Following, and excited to see how these turn out! Thanks for being brave and testing these out.
Nice find. Interested to see if this one has any benefits to the ebay style priced at $264.
doesn't look bad fitment wise, obviously it would be better once all bolts are in but any shots straight on from the back?

Yes the risers are removable, so you have the option of setting it up either low rise or high rise.
Dry fitment looks good, I will have more photos once it's painted. Here is another post of a member that also ordered the same wing, he uploaded a lot more photos:

Who can remind me - my recollection is coupe is narrower than sedan.
I've occasionally seen sedan track cars with LTW wings, but they're obviously fairly uncommon. I'd love to have the option to run low most of the time / high occasionally since my car is mostly a DD, but because of that I also don't want janky fitment.
Is the bottom of this completely flat, or does it have a lip for positioning on the trunk lid?
This wing does have the cutout and lip for positioning. If you look at pic numbers 3 and 4 in this album, you can sort of see the cutout and lip. It does not sit perfectly flush on the trunk without screwing it in but once it's screwed in it should be alright since I'm able to push down on it slightly and get it to sit flush.
High on the ends will cinch down nicely. If it was high in the middle you'd be high and dry - you don't have screws there to hold it down. If I was making these, I'd shape them the way this one was made to make sure they sit tight once they're fixed in place.
Hmm, as if I wasn't already putting together a parts list for revamping my suspension while I'm unemployed, now I've added this to the list. Now THAT'S healthy...
-Josh: 1998 S54 E36 M3/4/6 with most of the easy stuff and most of the hard stuff. At least twice. 271k miles. 1994 E32 740il with nothing but some MPars. 93k miles.
You should be using double sided tape to hold it to the trunk as well. It helps with fitment and seals out water from accumulating underneath, as well as prevents the wing from damaging trunk paint.
Anymore updates ?
