CFRP roof of my M2 CS features a deformity - Replacement proposed

sdhotwn · 05-05-2021, 06:03 PM

I'm super anal about my cars, and I don't trust the dealer any further than I can see them. But I'd do the replacement and say many prayers to car and religious deities alike. I'd want the car fixed, and I wouldn't want to give up "mine" either.

Why would it be any different than the CSR? Same chassis.

After much back and forth, I decided to get the roof replaced. Taking it in to the dealership on Wednesday. I'll try and get more info on the replacement process and keep everyone updated.

Hope all goes smoothly 🙏

You should ask for some pics during the repair to have as documentation....just a thought!

Thank you for the update. Hope everything goes without a hitch.
Might be worthwhile asking the service manager or tech in charge to take pictures/videos of the critical parts of the process; or even better if they let you observe it.

Like sausages: it’s better not to see them being made.

ptgltw · 05-15-2021, 10:57 PM

Ask for your old roof also. Not likely but doesn’t hurt to ask for a garage ornament

gemini.m3 · 05-15-2021, 11:13 PM

gl with the repair.

ptgltw · 05-16-2021, 06:04 AM

Good decision. I would have 100% done the same thing

We'll all be pulling for you and the beast. Def keep us posted with all the details you can obtain!

g.lor · 05-24-2021, 04:01 PM

Hey everyone, just a quick update. The body shop that is handling my roof replacement contacted me to let me know the replacement roof has been ordered. The part number is 41318081169. I'll keep you guys in the loop once I get more info.

Definitely ask for the old one back. That would become one nice piece of garage art.

Agreed!

That would be super cool 😎

However, maybe BMW will want it back for analysis???

If you get a chance to ask them to take some photos of the process that would be invaluable - it will be the first known CS roof replacement and others may have to follow suit. You'll be contributing to the community in invaluable ways and winning kudos in return

Hmm, where did I read that before (post #126) lol.

Not many actually reads entire threads anymore so I get it.

Great minds think alike! I hope he gets it back.

E46M3forRay · 05-25-2021, 02:41 PM

well essentially if it's a manufacturer defect, BMW would want that part shipped back to them for further analysis. If they find it to be a flaw during manufacturing process, I would think a recall is issued to certain owners to affected VINs.

I know Porsche does this as i have inquired in the past, requested if i can have the part back and hang it in my wall. For obvious reasons, it was rejected and was told it's going back to Germany.

However, if this claim went through your car insurance, i'm pretty sure, they will give it to you no questions ask.
