Oh yea I will enjoy it,I cant wait for spring to get here,lucky u that live in P.R where is summer all year around,so u dont have to take ur car shoes off,here is a pic of my cf performance spoiler,this pic is just testing the spoiler I havent glue it or anything,thats why u see the gap,I will have to wait until warm up over here in order to do it right.

+1 for Betalink being a royal bitch to work with.

The hardest part was trying to squeeze a consistent bead out of the retarded nozzle attachment. It got clumpy on some areas and too thin on others.

On a positive note, it was easy to clean up with the solvent, except for some areas in the center (recessed area on the front of the spoiler). Also it's rock solid and stable. I originally had it mounted with 3M tape, which always made me worry that it would get stolen.

perfect, thanks!

LCI tail lights would really do a great job of freshening up the back end of your car.

BMW M Performance Spoiler

1. Use BMW Betalink-K1 (BMW pn 82-69-9-408-866)
2. Read directions

Somebody has this directions? I tried 3M Tape but it was not enough, iam afraid to loose my spoiler when i go faster then 100 Mls. Then i tried Sikaflex (same like beta link)- hell it was a dirty action on my alpinewhite m3...

E92 M Performance Spoiler

I used Beta Link on my BMW Performance rear spoiler for my M3. Been in the trunk for 2 years now, and it hasnt blow yet. Perfect Flawless.

As for the BMW CF Performance Front Splitters i used 3M tape

Anyone has pictures of the location they stuck the 3M on the spoiler? Just trying to figure out where to put all the 3M on the spoiler.

For Rear Deck Spoiler use Beta Link

Does the Betalink need 24 hrs to cure?

I don't remember but I left it overnight. I know that you should not apply water to the area for 1 - 2 days.

Thanks for the info... I just have an issue with mine right (corners lifting used double sided tape) now and the people who installed is saying if they use betalink it will take 24hrs to cure so I have to leave the car. Which I'm doubtful.

I only use 3m tape for the front splitters and the rear diffuser. For the spoiler beta link.

Is there anyone who can scan the instructions that came with the betalink?

I was able to secure some of the goop but I need to know how to properly apply it. Thanks

The dispenser that comes with the kit is an absolute joke and a sure way to make a mess. I recommend getting a properly sized syringe (without the needle, of course) and putting the Betalink in that. You can then apply a small bead of glue with good precision and control, and most importantly, without making an absolute mess. The kit also comes with a spreading tool to spread the glue over the contact surface. You put the glue only on the spoiler. Once you get a good bond, work quickly with the solvent to clean up any excess that squeezes out.

That's a great idea!

for the clean up did you use what came with the kit or something different? also should while the glue is curing over the 24-48 hour process should I tape the spoiler with some blue painters tape or anything so it doesn't shift any?
