M2 LCI genuine carbon fiber interior components. What's on the inside matters.

Carbon fiber looks just as good on the interior as it does on the outside.
Such a simple upgrade can totally change the driving experience, just as much as a performance upgrade, and that's why I am here recommending it. My customer is happy, my technician is happy, I am happy.
The F87 M2 LCI in these photos already had an M Performance steering wheel and trim put in a bit earlier, and now we continue improving the cabin space with a set of genuine carbon elements.
The M Performance set includes the shift knob cover, the shift knob trim, and the handbrake cover. The design theme is basically carbon fiber with Alcantara leather, matte and nice to the touch!

Here's what the fuss is all about:

I have the M Performance DCT interior kit. Easy install and I love the looking feel of it. Highly recommended.

I've purchased the interior carbon kit as well. The only piece I haven't installed is the carbon shift knob. It's impossible to remove the face plate with a pick tool without damaging the stock shift knob. Just curious, did you have the same problem as me? Of course I can just discard the damaged stock piece.

Sorry, I wish I had any hints for this, but it's difficult to teach this in words. I've just been doing it on a lot of cars and maybe 1/10 will still mess it up. But yeah, the customers are always happy to get rid of the previous one.

Do these come separate? For instance, would I be able to get the shift knob cover and surround separately from the kit?

Sorry no, they come as a set, that's how I order them too... cannot find them separate.
I have them on my site for both LHD and RHD cars (default price might be in HKD, not USD).

There are a bunch of aftermarket kits, but go with the factory. It’ll match the dry carbon perfectly. Easy install too. This with the performance steering wheel and pedals really make the interior a bunch nicer.

Just picked up a 2019 M2 Comp (DCT), and wanted to see about getting this trim, ordered the wrong part, but when I found the right part (which needs the DCT toggle button on the lower trim), it seems that BMW (US/Germany), IND, ECS, and Bimmerworld are not able to get this anymore (they get it from BMW most likely).

Anyone have this in stock somewhere? (most of all I need the DCT shifter surround piece, the knob cover is still available).

I was able to get mine through autotecknic but this was also like 4 months ago. Both OEM sites I just checked show it's discontinued as well, and I'm pretty sure autotecknic just dropships from BMW for OEM parts, so it could be a bit unfortunate for you. You might want to look at ebay as well.

Thanks, yeah I have been browsing a bit online including eBay but I have yet to find one yet. Either way, thanks for the response! Probably just my bad luck with timing 🙂

Unlucky 😕 just got mine early last month from IND, seems they just had one or two left. Hopefully someone has it in stock but I had a few cancelled orders due to no Germany availability when looking for mine.

Any luck with this part number. I bought the wrong one too. I read about some (European I think) aftermarket vendor that offered good dry carbon quality.
