Al is right, the wind deflector is unnecessary and the look doesn't enhance the lines of the car. I wouldn't do it if it were free!

I do have a thought to share with you, similar to what real estate agents have told me when acquiring a new home.

I suggest you live with your new car awhile before making lots of changes. Take some time to appreciate what it is. It might even be useful to spend some time on this board and understand what people who have owned this car for awhile appreciate (and what makes it special) before you go off and personalize it too much.

You'll find the look of the car from the factory is actually considered quite elegant and extra doodads (windscreens, wings, etc.)are thought by many to devalue the car.

You may also want to make one change at a time so that you can enjoy the incremental progress.

Just a thought or two.

Welcome to the E31 world! Enjoy your unique and great car!

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this board. Pretty soon I'll be getting my 850 and I have a few questions.
I want to put the bluish lights there. Can anyone tell me what bulbs fit 8 series? I know the low beams are 9006. I took those off my 325iX when I sold it. What about the others?
Also, does anyone know of a company that makes sunroof wind deflectors for 8 series? And I'm lookin for a rear spoiler as well. I know Erebuni has one for $446, but are there any other designs?
Thanks

Dima
