ehhh? spend 290euro on a carbon parcel shelf that don't fit a saloon... umm i think he's better of buying a genuine one from BM for Ԛ£70! or mine if i get it out of the shed later for inspection.

It's longer, as the M3 rear window is at a different angle than the saloons

The M3 normally has a standard 'saloon' shelf with a extension piece added on, about 100mm deep.

Why would you fork out 299euro in order to save weight?! Surely you'd just do without if you were that bothered! Some people have too much money... :mad:

Oh, & I've got one Matt, if Marks turns out to be the wrong colour!
