M5 Competition engine cover

Hello,

I have a 2019 M5 Competition and was just doing some reading on the vehicle and noticed that the Competition model photos of the engine bay show a Carbon Fiber engine cover. Is this part of the Competition package or an after market product.
If it is part of the Competition package mine did not come with it.
The engine cover I have is plastic.

The carbon fiber cover seems to be standard (or an option) on the M5 Comp destined for other countries. In the US, the cover you have is the only option.

If you really want it, I think you can purchase one from IND for $1200 or so.

No probably will not purchase one, just happen to see it on some M5 Comps and wonder why mine did not have one.

The CF Cover is part of the BMW M Performance.
IMO, unless you are into a car show scene, it is not worth the price.

You'll get more hp out of RaceChip which is 3/4 the price of that engine cover.

Absolutely. And replacing the seats with plastic lawn chairs can save another 200 pounds.

The plastic lawn chairs might help on the seat ventilation that is sorely lacking currently.

That's odd, because I understood it came w/ the comp. What you have, came w/ my '18 standard M5. I then bought the CF cover from IND, because stock was way too dull for me. Check my avatar.

It comes with the comp outside of the US…

The US market doesn’t get:

Full leather as standard
Control knobs covered in ceramic
Factory tinted passenger and rear window

But we don’t have a 21% VAT

From some of the posts, the dealers in the UK are willing to discount more...some have mentioned 22% discounts. How that equates to deals in the US, I have no idea.
