Ikon M5 Spoiler Reviews and Buying Advice

Anybody have one mounted up? How do you like it?
https://ikonmotorsports.com/products...44068110532832

I've pretty much decided on the M5 one as it seems the most subtle. I'm going for low key here. Is there a smaller one out there that I should be looking at?

Also stuck between colors. Ikon lists A90 as Sophisto Gray
and B90 as Dark Graphite Metallic II. According to Bimmer.work decoder, I have Sophistograu Ii Brillanteffekt Metallic (B90). Thinking of getting their B90 and chancing it being correct. They have a 30 day return if it's not, and I would just be out shipping.

Thoughts to either question?

Check your driver's door b-pillar. The exterior color code is displayed there. Our 2012 535i was B90. There is a difference, I just don't remember what it is.

Sophisto Grau = Dark Graphite, depending on the region it's a different name for the same color.

B90 is the newer variant for the F10 and slightly darker compared to A90.

Not on the B-pillar, but found this in the engine compartment. Looks like code B90 for sure, but the name doesn't quite match up to either one Ikon is using. Go with the code?
Like I mentioned, they have a 30 day return policy...

That is the German name for B90.

Go with the code, B90 = B90. The /7 is the indication of which version of the B90 colour code it actually is. Quite some variance in there still.

My car is A90, ordered a similar looking spoiler pre-painted not expecting greatness but the actual fit and colour match was great and still is after 3 years.

Not to derail OP, but can someone explain or know why this company or similar ones do not offer 3D style front bumper lip spoiler for 2015 F10?

I was wondering about the /7 figure. I figure there is enough UV fading and environmental damage already, a perfect would never happen. But close enough to give it a smidge more of an aggressive look!

Delivered and installed today! Super quick turnaround. Shipped from Taiwan where I presume they painted to match. Went with the B90 code and ignored the name for it, and it's a match! Ikon has a 10% off coupon as well, so whole thing came out to about $100. I like the looks a lot... subtle but just a touch more aggressive.

You can't really see in this lighting, but color match is spot on to my untrained eye:





Thanks for the feedback and advice!
