Their latest product shows the Slovenian company is willing to branch out furthermore by introducing its first adjustable rear wing. Available for the BMW M3 G80 Sedan and M4 G82 Coupe, the aerodynamic piece is made from carbon fiber and has been lacquered before being hand-polished in the same vein as their diffusers.<\/p>\n<p>The lightweight wing rests on a pair of brackets manufactured from CNC-machined aluminum and features a swan neck layout. To ensure structural stability at pivot points, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/03\/08\/akrapovic-exchaust-bmw-m3-m4-g80-g82\/\">Akrapovi\u010d<\/a> has incorporated titanium reinforcements. These were necessary taking into consideration there are three levels of adjustability.<\/p>\n<p>Combining carbon with titanium means the rear wing benefits from increased durability since it has better resistance to galvanic corrosion. The latter material was also used for the bolts connecting the wing to the two brackets. As for the design, it was optimized using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to maximize stability at high speeds by increasing downforce at the back of the M3\/M4.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-440984\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 and M4 with Akrapovic rear wing 6 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 and M4 with Akrapovic rear wing 6 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-440984\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 and M4 with Akrapovic rear wing 6 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/BMW-M3-and-M4-with-Akrapovic-rear-wing-6.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 and M4 with Akrapovic rear wing 6 830x553\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mind you, Akrapovi\u010d\u2019s wing is manually adjustable, meaning the owner must choose the preferred angle before driving.
