Remember that, according to insider info, BMW walked the extra mile for the M2 CS roof (see post #1 of this thread). We don't know what the roof received as treatment during the production stage till the car left the factory for transport, but apparently things didn't work out as initially planned. Lots of M2 CS owners worldwide in all sorts of climates (hot/cold - dry/humid - regular/salty). Not heard about similar cases as yours. Do you notice traces of scuffing or possible repairs on the car roof ? (hit during transport between factory and point of delivery ?).

No, the minorly warped roof of the M2 CS of forum member g.lor is likely a one-off. Cause yet to be determined.

Very strange , since this is the only case known with such problems.

I notably can't comment on cold weather but not expecting any issues with our light-ass winter coming up. |

It is a ridiculously cold 12° C (53° F) at 11pm now though. Winter in Autumn. I blame all cold weather on too much wind from the people of Melbourne. I will check my roof in the morning. |

A normal panel wouldn't have any issues with temp unless you're talking very extreme temps that would be burning the panel, like around an exhaust. That won't happen on this car.

I'm sure there would be many who would refuse to send it back; count me as the first

If confirmed to be merely an aesthetic gremlin that happened prior to g.lor taking delivery, without adverse impact from a structural/functional point of view, I'd keep that M2 CS, but would inquire for a compensation in money or in kind (let BMW come forward with an offer). For example, if a brand new BMW car incurs hail damage and gets repaired prior to taking delivery, BMW usually compensates the customer regardless the fact that the car got properly repaired (often a discount and extended warranty get granted). If the phenomenon occurred post delivery, the situation becomes more complicated: what caused this weird phenomenon ? Is the irregularity related to some external factor post delivery, or does it consist of an intrinsic/inner 'defect' that was present before delivery (impossible or hard to notice back then) and that occurred post delivery (easy to notice now) ? Also, what to expect for the future: status quo or will it worsen ? Hail damage ("Like a golf ball, it's more aerodynamic now..."):

Ok just spoke with my service advisor and they said my car will have to be sent to their body shop to have the roof replaced under warranty. Should I go ahead with this?

Very likely a PuMA has been or will be issued because of your car. Any info about the possible cause ? Almost certainly they'll also need to remove the front window and rear window during the operation. Remember that, unlike other BMW M CF roofs, the M2 CS CF roof is a structurally integrated part of the car. The operation involves some invasive surgery. Also inquire about option B: leave it the way it is, but get compensated. Value depreciation: if you ever sell the car with the existing roof, potential buyers will point out this aspect, likely requiring you to drop the resale price a couple of grand. Even also with the roof replaced, resale price of your car risks not to be the same as the one of an M2 CS that does not feature a roof replacement operation (the operation will be registered). The work and materials involved will set back BMW several grand. You could save them the complete operation and avoid long-term worries, by negotiating a trade-off (some money).
