Some folks here claim that BMW will install the carbon roof, which involves very intensive labor, for free if it's installed at the VDC (US delivery port).
You know, because BMW is known for their generosity.. I want some of what they're smoking.. |

This installation isn't scary to me at all. I can name 3 shops off the top of my head I'd feel confident doing this modification... Port makes 4. My issue is the price. I'd just skip the sunroof and mac the solid steel roof for $0.

The worst part of doing this to your M2 would be dealing with all the jerks saying "I wouldn't have done that to my car."

Some of you are acting like this is new. Owners have been installing carbon roofs for years. Goes back to E46 M3 owners installing the CSL roof. E90 M3 owners feeling left out and installed after market carbon roofs. Some F10 M5 owners had carbon roofs installed, even some OG M2 owners. Why is everyone just flipping out now?

I still don't get BMW's rational behind any of this. I see things all the time that require tearing a car apart to upgrade it with aftermarket parts. It's the first time I've seen the same offered directly from a car manufacturer which makes no sense. You make the car, you sell the CF roof, so you should install it directly at the factory instead of tearing apart a new car, adding extra hours of work and BS to get this done after the fact. For a company that's all about efficiency this is the most idiotic and counter intuitive thing I've ever seen them do. |

Please don't profess your opinion like it's an objective fact.

My point is you're stating your opinion as an objective fact. I have already shared my opinion and didn't feel the need to misrepresent it as a fact.

It would be really interesting to learn how many of all the M Performance parts are sold; and if they were over-the-counter sales, or installed before delivery.

If I see someone with a CF roof in the future. I would just want to know what they thought of it, how it was holding up, and if there were any issues. Hopefully people who are truly interested in getting it done can provide help and feedback for others I personally would rather BMW just did it at the factory, but I'm also not that into carbon roofs. It looks cool, but I'd rather have a moon-roof, which I know a lot of people don't want on these types of cars. Last edited by qnet; 06-18-2018 at 06:00 PM.. Reason: adding more comments. |
