Port makes repairs to vehicles damaged in transit are are held to factory standards. I would prefer the port doing the install than an independent dealership. |

Let's beware of "Nah, an M2 doesn't need a CF roof. Look, we offered one in 2018 and it didn't sell well.". Seriously, let the fine people at Garching know that no factory or pre-delivery install, is a serious drawback for buying their MPP CF roof for the M2. Way too many comments make this point.

It makes a warranty difference which is important when your car is torn apart. The roof and everything else they pulled out of your car and then put back in your car would be covered by the full warranty, which might come in handy when shit is miss aligned, rattling around, or leaking.

Also, the fact that it's not a factory replacement option and a completely new accessory from scratch; the prices for M2C MP parts are going to be astronomical. I call it now; $3,000 for the roof (estimate based on F82 OEM prices), not counting labor, to be named later. |

I agree with port installation being superior on many items. |

BMW have been testing the waters with the whole small car/ larger engine concept since they released the E82 in 2008 but they kept the price in check (around US 50K).
Now that they realized they have a winning formula (duh), they're now going milk it for all that its worth... #IAintMadAtYa #ItsJustBusiness Last edited by Poochie; 05-09-2018 at 02:23 PM.. |

So anxious to see (and hear) one of these in person. Thanks for the sneak peek!
Very curious to see the undercarriage photos Is the front kidney grille a single piece versus the traditional 2 that we're accustomed to seeing? Seems that way from the photos...

Q: Do the newly introduced M Performance parts also fit on the M2 / M2 LCI or just on the BMW M2 Competition? A: everything fits except the parts of the front (carbon kidneys, sword). Q: over how many kg weight saving we talk in total? Note: the vehicle exhibited did not have the carbon boot lid yet. A: about 31 KG Q: how much is the whole cost assuming you take everything (ie including rims)? A: Prices are not yet final but you should expect 25-30K € without installation. Q: Can you have parts installed from the factory (e.g. carbon roof)? A: All accessories are installed at any dealer. There will be detailed installation instructions. Q: Seriously? Convert roof at a dealer? A: Yes, everyone should be able to do that. Q: Will there be the possibility to have parts installed at the factory in the future? A: This is not planned Q: Will there be a limited M2 CSL / GTS (whatever that means) that will have all those parts already? A: No comment Q: What should the customer do with the original parts? A: (There was no answer, just an embarrassed smile) Q: Is the AGA made in the UK or made in Germany? A: The vehicle exhibited is a pre-production and it has not yet been decided who will deliver the AGA. Currently a 'made in the UK' is installed. Note from me: 'made in UK' = red arch ltd. The company that also builds the performance AGA of the M2 including rattling at cold start... Q: Does the original exhaust on the front pipe have to be cut? A: Yes Q: How are the flaps actuated? About BT remote? A: The performance AGA will not have any flaps. Note from me: I could not believe that because the Series AGA should have 2 flaps and have just made big eyes. Let's see what's coming ... Q: Which AGA is louder: the performance of the M2 / M2 LCI or the Competition? A: The OPF reduces the volume significantly. The performance of the M2 / M2 LCI is louder with open flaps. MR |

Perhaps we should do a groupbuy on the carbon roof... And then ask one dealer to install them all. They will be so good at it, they will not do it wrong. #justkidding
