For example, if you stand on the CFRP M3/M4 roof or the one of the M2 M Performance Parts catalogue with that familiar CF weave look, beware not to 'sink' through it. On the newly developed M2 CS CFRP roof you can stand (sandwich-structured composite).
Plastic parts are not hard to make or tweak in NX, CATIA, Solidworks, etc. I'm not saying they didn't put any effort in, but it's not even in the same realm as, say, changing the engine or even suspension components in the car.
