What is amazing is how much room for improvement there is with this car, given how great it already is. I am sure we will see more carbon in the next gen, like it seems is coming with the next M5. |

5 kg in weight reduction. I would rather go on diet and invest in lightweight battery!
But it looks brutally good! |

On the M4 it lowers the center of gravity by about 2 inches as well. CF roof combined with CF drive shaft and trunk probably saves about 50 lbs total.

Wonder if it fits a 135i? Mine is wrapped and looks great but won't last forever. The shape of this roof is nicer, too

Can someone educate me on how this roof panel is installed? Is there cutting and welding involved? How much labor are we talking and is there any risk of compromising the body's structural stiffness in the install process?
