Carbon brands

I know this has been discussed to varying degrees but I specifically want to discuss the best brands of carbon fiber components. I really want to add a few pieces to my black M5 base to give it a more aggressive look, starting with a rear diffuser and spoiler. I know there are pieces for sale on ebay and I know some people sing their praises but I want to go with a brand that is going to have a perfect fitment with no issues there. I also don't want to break the bank on a few carbon fiber pieces. I've been looking closely at RW Carbon diffusers and I was also looking at Mode a while back. Are these brands close to the fit and finish of OEM carbon pieces? Are there any other brands I should be looking at?

RW Carbon strikes a good balance between price, quality and fitment.

I purchased their side skirts for my 1st F90 M5C (19’) and was pleased with the quality and fitment. Their customer service is good as well.

Mode Carbon is a whole other story with a less than good reputation and a history of poor customer service and communication. I suggest you do a search on your own. Here is a thread I was able to locate:

https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1968995

eBay is hit or miss so proceed with caution or search for members that have had good experience with eBay sellers.

I also suggest you check the Classifieds here as sometimes when owners part-out cars you can get BMW ///M Performance parts at a good price. PM seller and check their reputation as the classifieds have been susceptible to quite a bit of fraud.

Good luck.

Echo what was already said. I’ve had success with RW Carbon and like several others on many forums, regret the day I ever heard of Mode! Stay away from them whatever you do!

I used to recommend eBay as I had good experiences with my F82 but I haven't had the same luck with the F90. Tried a spoiler from bulbxpert and it just didn't want to sit flush.

I've also got some cf parts from RW Carbon and those came out great. Autotecknic exterior parts were also great, but their interior parts needed a little dremeling to fit.

Also I will say RW is a better in vetting the QC on some of their parts too, proactive customer service too.

if you need any help, my good friend is the main person at Vorsteiner. I can get us discounts on any of their carbon aero programs and wheels.

Thanks!

Do it once, do it right. M performance all the way. Others never fit flush and fade from the sun.
Reventon carbon out of Poland also legit like OEM
