Anyone got any idea how to remove rear 'lip' spoiler and badges on 330ci sport. Are they just double-sided tape so would they just come off with heat gun?
If your taking the lip off il take it off you ????
As for badges i took mine off with dental flosss

you might find the spoiler is bonded on with BMW's sikaflex type stuff. if it is you are unlikely to remove it without trashing the spoiler and it is not easy to get off paint.
Just going off the Schnitzer stuff I have for mine - it is bonded not taped. The spoilers come with a tube of the stuff to stick them on.

Lighter fluid will take the remaining goo off, but clean and wax it afterwards :)

Get an old credit card / library card / membership card. Starting from one side, slip the credit card between the spoiler and the bootlid and pull through.
BMW use a strong foam tape that you'll be breaking and ripping through. Use autoglym intensive tar remover to get rid of the residue.
My bodyshop used this technique and had the spoiler off in about a minute.
