It's just not as feasible as you wish it be.

I do agree that structural CF is more difficult to manufacture than sunglasses and money clips. However, one could argue that BMW has already had extensive practice with building CF roofs on the M3 and M4 (did other M models come with a CF roof option?). So adapting their process to fit the M2 shouldn't really be a big deal, most of the R&D work is done and I doubt it would require changing much to make them for the M2...
If anything there would be some additional costs incurred for crash-testing, etc... But I still think a CF roof is very do-able for the M2.
