My previous car had a sunroof by default so no one complained about it.
We did argue about interior color and what’s best (atamaca va gobi va nordkap)

I complained about the suspension a lot

Looks good. Would have looked even better if you did the rails too!

I know the installer said it's a hassle doing the rails as it's plastic material and may not hold wrap, so I let it go

Is it looking odd?

I think it looks a little odd. Personally, I would have the rails and shark fin painted black.

But it doesn't look bad.

Just find black rails and replace. I don't know if it's easy or even possible

And if it were carbon fiber and didn't have that moonroof in the middle... just kidding. I think it looks good.

CF roof it gives the car a much meaner look more on lighter colors.

///My5UV · 01-11-2018, 07:58 PM

I think you need a black racing stripe on the hood and trunk to complete the skunk look

But seriously, I'd absolutely do the rails in black. Vinyl sticks to plastic. If it doesn't you haven't lost much... it's a tiny area and easy to DIY since it's straight and pretty flat.
As a bonus, if you ever use the roof rack you don't risk scratching your paint as easily.

Went skiing today, folded down right rear passenger seat to fit skis. I was thinking, next time get a darker color and just order the moonroof. FWIW, CF-roof is probably right there with wheel arches - for my favorite aspects of the cars appearance, but total pain for those of us that want OEM racks.

Takumi587 · 03-28-2018, 12:10 AM

When people say OEM roof rack are they referring to the inserts on the top to put a rack? On my 2018 cf roof there are inserts to put a rack up. Unless it’s for something else.

Look closer, no holes for mounting inside.

Is the Carbon Fiber Roof 2x2 twill matching other BMW OEM Carbon Fiber MPerformance Parts or is it a different twill/gloss?

Ian1973 · 04-10-2018, 06:43 PM

I'm shocked little the moonroof is picked.

On the dark car, the CF is pointless -- it is for a show and shows only at special angles and under special lighting.
On light cars (white, SS, red, Yas, Blue, puke yellow...) the CF roof is for show and looks great

M3Ninja2017 · 04-10-2018, 11:42 PM

Moonroof for the win. My car is black, so its barely noticeable if I did have a CF Roof. Plus , having a Carbon Fiber roof has slim to no performance benefit whatsoever.

It's a 1x1 pattern and no it doesn't match the other CF M Performance pieces but it doesn't matter bc very few people will ever notice since those parts are mounted far way from the roof so you can't directly see them next to each other.

Does it have same finish and look as other 2x2 twill Parts such as interior trim and M Performance Mirrors/Difusser or different?
