CF Doodads
Hi all- Newbe here. I've just acquired a '12 M3 E92. It's Mineral White and the PO installed some exterior carbon fiber parts. I personally don't care for the look with the white paint, and am seriously considering removing it all. He put on the front "splitters"(?), and the lower rear piece that surrounds the exhaust (whaddya call it?). Is there a market for these as used? Thanks for any opinions!

Agree with you, the car looks cleaner w/o them. But most here love these parts, so they're an easy sell. Jack up the price and let all the CF nerds pay up. |

I appreciate all the "help" from all that offered! LOL. I will attempt to carefully remove the pieces, and post some pics of 'em. I need to figure out how they are attached- it appears there is some type of black two-sided rubbery tape on the front splitters. Probably some hidden screws as well. We'll see...

It is probably some combo of double sided tape and screws.

honest help...its USUALLY tape and screw for the splitters but sometimes its betalink adhesive so make very sure prior because if its betalink you will destroy the paint on your bumper

"betalink"? IDK what that is- if I soak it with penetrating oil, will it eventually come off?

Becareful when you remove them, we do highly suggest to get it remove from a body shop to avoid any damage to the paint . The two-sided rubbery tape is most likely 3m double sided tape. It can be remove easily. If you can snap us a few pictures and we can most likely guide you how to remove the carbon fiber parts correctly!

So it's the "fanboy" special- OK. Why are you surprised I don't like it? You think i'm a fanboy for what reason?

Not an insult just by far the most common color. I own an AW car myself.

Ok, mine's mineral white met. just like thkfast above. My main complaint is the CF splitters always drag on driveway aprons, etc. Being as they're attached with damn betalink, I've considered having them (splitters, diffuser, trunk spoiler) all sprayed to match. IDK...
