Rear Wing Adjustment

Bokke · 11-12-2016, 05:55 PM

I don't think BMW give us a tool to loosen the screws to adjust the wing? I couldn't find one.

What size/type screw head do we use to loosen the screws to adjust the wing?

TIA,

They're not the same as the ones for the winglets?

everyone that owns a BMW should also own a set of Torx screwdrivers.

I do, but don't have the correct size, hence the question!

I think it's a t27 or t30. Not at home right now.

T30 Torx- same for spoiler and front splitter. Suggest you get one for a 1/4 inch drive. Much easier to get under front splitter.

Torx T25 is what to use
I adjusted mine yesterday

Yes, T-25 NOT 30.
Did mine last night too. First mod for the gts :-)

MarksM · 11-21-2016, 06:02 PM

Wow, maybe I got a later build car. Spoiler and Wing are both T30's on mine. I must have gotten the upgrade.

Interesting....

M2MG17 · 11-22-2016, 09:11 PM

Mine also have different bolts front the front and rear

I have a 04/16 build GTS. So its one of the early ones.

The correct sizes are as follow:
Font Splitter - T30
Rear Wing angle - T30
Rear Wing Winglets - T25

I think BarryB and radnuc is talking about flipping the winglets and not adjusting the attack angle of the rear wing.
