If that car doesn't need a spoiler, no car you're gonna drive needs a spoiler. Therefore there's no excuse for having one. :p

But, there are few exceptions that are OK with spoilers, like the Huyundai Tiburon. But then it's a matter of opinion. :)

Well not every car is "formed" like a sports-car(Modena 360), you have to take the overall shape in consideration but I would also say most wings are unnecessary.

There's a ricer next door that has a WING on a Talon. Why? That car already comes with a little spoiler... and you put a wing on top? Makes no sense, looks ridiculous. No way in hell that car needs a wing. :p

Actually, it came with the car. I perfer a quieter car, but its a $1200 exhaust. I wouldnt say that its bad though... Remus is one of the favorites of bmw drivers, its got a nice sound, but its not nearly as loud as others. For example, i can heay my tires (gripping, not slipping) over my exhaust when i take a hard corner.

That's good then if you can still hear things. ;) But still, wtf does that $1200 do exactly? ;) It sounds nice :Q I wouldn't pay $1200 for that :p You said it came with the car though, so whatever.. a BMW is still a BMW. It just pisses me off when one drives by and I think it's a Civic before I see it, cause of the way it sounds. :confused:

its a fancy exhaust... apparently the previous owner was quite wealthy, the exhaust is <1 yr old, and he put new tires on it before he/she sold it. they also took a $50k loss on the car from the time of purchase.

and it doesnt sound anything like a civic. it sounds very german. I've been meaning to get a recording of it, i'll post it if i figure out a way to do so.
