Nice car (although stickers not to my taste...). I am trying to find out if the carbon fibre interior kit is the same finish as the one that comes standard. I still haven't been able to ascertain this anywhere..

If the finish of the DCT upgraded alcantara/CF is exactly the same as the one standard on the car I would be ok with it. But I wonder if it's not a DIFFERENT finish that matches the m-performance optional one.

Can you illuminate me ?

Agreed, stickers I think a bit too flashy also, but since my boss is paying for it, do it... and if future gf dislike it, just remove it. Carbon Fiber interior kit from M Performance is the same matt finish as the one that comes from factory optional M Performance package.

I always wanted clear coated carbon interior instead, but so far only saw gloss carbon print M2 made at Autoform in Beirut - Lebanon. But not real gloss painted carbon.

The only M Performance matt carbon fiber is the hand brake and shift lever and surround... other matt carbon fiber pieces comes standard in my country on M2...

Thank you. I get conflicting information on this as my dealer telling me the m performance DCT shifter and hand brake is the same finish as the factory standard trim.. I could not confirm that anywhere with certainty.

If it's the same finish. Why then offer ANOTHER carbon kit as M performance item when it's already offered as standard ?!?

Shifter standard is not carbon trim, M Performance standard is carbon trim on the shifter, just click on the link above I posted and see the different M Performance products...

Those GT style wings are for M4/M4 GTS.

I've seen them installed on M2, but I think will require some additional work. I am just gonna wait for maybe PSM aerokit or other brands for the M2.

How do you like the carbon interior parts (lever, surrounding & hand brake)? I am on the fence.

I showed my wife the pics of your car. My LBB is literally a few weeks from going into production and my wife wants me to try and change the order to AW and get those M stickers. Really surprised me. Doesn't seem like something she would want but she loves the look.

Honestly I was gonna order LBB before I decided to go for the AW. But I honestly think girls would go for AW more than LBB so I ordered the AW with all the factory stickers, but if my future GF think stickers too much I can just take it off... Glad ur wife likes the factory stickers, do it!

Agreed, I like gloss black carbon better personally but the matt factory carbon is not as glossy and doesn't effect u when driving though...
