Fabric Door Pulls

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has found a way to replace the plastic door pulls with the fabric ones a la M4GTS or 911gt3rs? If not, any ideas on who we should call to save a gram or 2?

+1 except from what I have found BMW OEM options are only for the door closure arm (I'm sure that's not the technical term) while Porsche is the actual door opening mechanism.

I could care less about weight savings but I'm more interested in fashioning the Porsche type option and keeping the existing carbon door closure arms.

Completely agree with you. Would be nice if someone could make it in the porsche style.

Just spoke with Dinmann about it, he isn't doing one for the m2c, seems like he was the only guy making it for the f80's.

I believe so - iND lists them as compatible when you filter by vehicle on their site.

Why not just buy the door pull and mechanism from the M3/4 CS and install

The fabric on the M235i carbon skins do not unlatch the door. They are door pulls to close the door.
