You are in the vast minority if you want a sunroof. The replies on this thread also confirm that. Not having the CF roof is a non-starter for most people.....regardless of how optioned a car is. If you like sunroofs, great, nothing wrong with that. Regardless, M cars without the carbon roof do not look as good....it's really as simple as that.

No, I'm not; it's a 53:38 split (<-- and no, I have no idea if that's true anymore than you do). No, they don't. Why, thank you--whatever would I have done without your blessing. No... it isn't since you're not the 'BMW looks good' police. Quote:

Since when did M cars become ultralight track weapons? They are huge, comfortable and fast sedans and coupes. The fact that BMW gives you a no cost option means everyone can have it their way. It really cracks me up when someone has an opinion and if anyone has a different one then they are flawed.

I know OP already chose his car, but to add some fuel to the fire, If I were optioning one I'd get the sunroof. Wife and I actually made sure to get an M2 that had one because we wanted to brighten up the bleak cabin, we like to open the windows/roof when its nice out, and we wanted a convertible above all else but BMW doesn't make one. These cars are already heavy as it is so I don't think it makes too big of a difference and while the CF roof looks nice, its not really a requirement for me.

The biggest reason by far to get the sunroof is to be able to hear the exhaust in its pure, undiluted and not destroyed by side-wind sound--the sunroof let's it all in. Believe me, I know--my M5 sounded divine, my M8 does, too... just not so much on the inside. |

OBVIOUSLY, most people would prefer the sunroof over a car with no sunroof (that is, on a car WITH no other option available, such as a CF roof). Your TTS has no relevance in this argument but then again you obviously did not read what I said.

I know you don't care about what looks good. After all, you put a "bedazzled" grille on your M5 and M8.

Reminder: this is what you said that pissed people off... oh, and let's not forget the customary lol. Man, you're a pleb -> [mjr24] "Honestly, if I saw someone with a sunroof on their M5....I'd think they must have gotten a bare bones one cheap because hardly anyone would opt for the sunroof. Just get a M550 otherwise...save the money. It looks pedestrian." /[mjr24] Last edited by limeypride; 03-30-2020 at 08:43 PM.. |

The 19 has the carbon roof. I miss the additional light and the air from the sunroof and the sound of the exhaust. However, the carbon roof gives so much more headroom, looks a lot more aggressive and l feel it changes the character of the car. If I had to pick one I would pick the carbon roof just because it fits the M5 competition model better. |

Joking aside: yup, I know many who prefer the carbon roof for looks or rigidity or both--understood. But I think it's apparent to all what was unnecessary and douchey about douche's comments. |

I purchased my F90 in January. Thankfully, I won't suffer financially during the crisis. I only found out about the option because I'm in the market for a 3rd vehicle and the salesman informed me that there would be no payments for the first 90 days.
