One question I do have is whether some of the competition parts will be available from dealers to retrofit to the current m2? Seats, mirrors, bumper
Reason I ask is because bmw offered an official retrofit for the f30 m-sport package and the kit itself had a part number Would certainly ease the tension and resent from current owners

The complaints being made here are MORE VALID than complaints that have been responded to .. like M MIRRORS. The shouting over those mirrors began early and didn't stop .... so it's a good thing that BMW AG are listening ! #M2CSLWITH6MT |

It would not make any sense for the M-Performance wheel to be heavier than the base wheel. What would be the point of buying the M-Performance wheel if it where the case? Further, just looking at the design, I am pretty sure the 788M is heavier than the 437M. The 437M is fairly light to start with.

Why wouldn't it fit? Don't all F8X share the exact same underpinnings?

How many factories do they have, world wide? Around 30, which includes bike assembly by the way, according to this: https://www.bmwusfactory.com/manufac...bmw-worldwide/ And how many dealers? Thousands...literally. Even if you use the port install argument for the US, you’ve still got a number that dwarfs the factories number. There’s going to be problems, just do the math from a probability standpoint, ecause you’re introducing so many additional installers into the equation. For a low volume car.

Full carbon fenders, just like the hood and trunk.

The fear people seem to have over modifying their car is quite amusing. IT IS JUST A CAR. Imagine the stress these people would experience if their kid needed surgery?

My comments are really around the roof - I’m sure the rest of the parts will be easy enough to install properly.

Guys, if the CF roof is dealer installed, then this isn't a real M car. Everyone knows real M cars have their CF roof installed at the factory. A janitor friend of mine at BMW Welt found a memo thrown away from Franciscus Van Meel indicating this would be a standard option in 2029 - that's the car to wait for!
(Would hate for this debate to end with the addition of M mirrors and an S55 engine - it has been such a fun argument over the last 3 years) |

That makes sense - otherwise they wouldn’t be functional.

The whole "just a car" argument is asinine. Really? I thought it was a spaceship
You guys must be the blessed few to have NEVER had to deal with a shitty body repair; where your frame sounds like crickets getting gang-raped every time you hit a bump. Then the "dealer" telling you that's normal.. I did, I sold it a month late because it was "JUST A CAR." When you're spending that kind of money on ANYTHING, you're paying for quality and workmanship. Forgive me for being a little concern; I live in the real world.. |

No one is frightened. We would rather have something as important as the roof installed at the factory. That’s all.

Don't fool yourself. That is absolutely fear you're seeing in regards to creaking and paint issues. Your preference means nothing; right now if you want a carbon roof/hood/trunk/fenders on your M2 it isn't coming from the factory that way. If you're too concerned (read: fearful) of complications, just keep the car stock. This is elementary.
