Carbon Fiber parts ordering and installation
From what I gather reading and seeing M2s that arrive at dealerships, some have carbon fiber parts already installed (grill, gills etc.). How does ordering those work to get them so early? Does the dealer install them? Port install?
Thanks. EDIT: I meant black grill, gills and carbon fiber mirror caps. Last edited by norberts; 10-18-2017 at 01:32 AM.. |

There is no BMW Carbon Grill or Gills, but there are black versions and the carbon diffuser and winglets.
All of those things are port installed, and you don't get the parts that they take off. It's quite a bit cheaper not to have things port installed, and your car won't be slowed down for delivery at the port either. The benefits of port installed parts is that you can finance them with the car, they end up on the window sticker, and they're warrantied because they were fitted by BMW. I personally wouldn't do any port installed things, and just buy them cheaper after the fact, keeping the original parts as spares etc.

You are right my confusion, edited the post.
Thanks for the info. That's what I did with my current M235i (bought after), so that's what I'm going to do with the M2 too. |

This is the main reason that I hate getting anything done on my cars, including servicing at the dealer, PPF install, paint correction work, even washing my car. I'll do it all myself thank you very much.
