I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I hope it's all factory installed, for quality sake. |

Example (time lapse to get you an idea): Quote:
In the past a forum fellow wan888 posted pictures of an overlay CF roof on a 1M (see here): but it generates extra weight on the roof + thickness: And forum fellow Powerbeast replaced his 1M roof for his Dakar Yellow 1M build project (see here and here), but I believe to remember that the building process was more complicated than initially planned:

I wouldn't be surprised if the hood and trunk are pre-painted from the factory. In the prress release it specifically says "partially exposed carbon fiber" which leads me to believe this. This would allow these parts to be installed at the port or dealer while still keeping quality control in check. The roof, I have no idea. It can't be an overlay since they advertised a weight savings. Possible, as a previous poster said, they could have made the roof modular for the competition model. If this is a "factory option" wouldn't it just show up on the option list instead? Now that everyone has jizzed on themselves get ready for the price shock. These parts will be VERY expensive, but nice to have the option even for OG M2 owners as everything but the front lip and grill (which I hate) will fit.

Ok, I didn’t expect this. Having many options is a good thing. Nobody is forced to add on stuff they don’t need. But the people who do want to go all out with M Performance parts...can finally do it!

The majority of M3/M4's I see, have carbon roofs. Rarely do I see a sunroof. I say make it standard factory. Bump the price, sunroof becomes Priority 1 no cost option with a production delay.

M2C is 50kg heavier that the base M2... my guess is that many of these parts where developed by the now disbanded M2CSL project; this could be one way to recoup some of their R&D costs.
I would be very interested in the CF bonnet, roof and boot lid as retro fits to my base M2. |

Am I the only one that hates this BMW in-house-aftermarket shit? If BMW wants to offer them, they should just make them real factory parts. |
