Nope
Not your bad at all. The "bad" was the inexperienced designer, engineer or cheapie business person who would not insure that this part used the proper resins/clear coats to be strongly resistant to known environmental conditions. I have faith that BMW will choose better for their CF roof. Nonetheless, I can see myself with the rags and windex in the trunk to combat the damn birds near my gf's place.

Very good point - it's sad to see that. Just remember that not everybody that opts for the sunroof is like that. I'll be running my car to redline daily.

Possible they might make it for America but.........I doubt it..... The 6 doesn't have one and it's not even an "M".. Seems like there's 2 things new "M"s don't have anymore..... Fogs and sunroofs..... |

I can just see a opportunity for a boom for aftermarket fogs then, kaching!

Sunroofs
No, I'm not ignoring that issue. The difference of 11 lbs between steel & CF roof you will never feel unless you race. The difference of ~46 lb. between steel roof with sunroof and CF roof w/o you will only feel under track conditions. I comes down to what pushes your buttons. I use the sunroof in my E46 frequently, but I'd be willing to sacrafice it for the uniqueness of the CF roof. I guess, if I had the choice, I'd take the CF roof with sunroof, but looks like that will not be an option from BMW, though it's been done.

So that's why guys like us need to drive it as M intended, so at least some will be driven properly.

Its silly as hell to worry about sunroof vs. CF in terms of performance. 99.9% of us won't be able to tell the difference. Only sensitive instrumentation and / or actual lap times will know for certain. Get whatever makes you feel better.
