Aerodynamic Kit for E70

[choicez]

Does the aero kit require it to be screwed onto the bumper or fender? Or, can it be attached with the heavy duty double sided adhesive only?

the frame which the actual kit mounts to needs to be screwed to the body. installation instructions here:

You don't want a body piece to be held on with just double-sided tape. You want it secure and not able to flex, and not get sheared off on the slightest bump it encounters.

I understand but I had an aero kit for my E92 and it just required the double sided tape. No problems and it held perfectly.

OE or Aftermarket? Usually aftermarket's don't care about reliability. An OEM like BMW parts and most ANY good bodyshop will securely mount items where needed.

Think of the children.

It was OEM but let me correct myself. You bolt it on but you use the existing factory bolts on the E92 bumper and double sided tape to reinforce it. In other words, you didn't have to make any new holes into the bumper. I was hoping the similar setup for the E70.
