why isnt M3 CF interior shiny like M6?
I have been looking at pics of various CF trims and they all seem to have a glossy/shiny look. The M3 concept pics have CF interior trim, but it is not glossy...it has a matt finish.
I hope they have a glossy option for the CF as it looks much better than the matt finish. |

I saw an M6 with the real carbon fiber trim interior last weekend and it looked fantastic in person. It has much more flare and style to it in person than it conveys in photographs.
I would very much like to see the carbon fiber pattern leather in person before considering this option on the M3. The pictures shown thus full present a matte finish, as the OP noticed, that is quite dull and lifeless. If real CF trim is a state-side option, I am seriously considering ordering it after seeing that trim in person in the M6.

I love the leatherbound CF look better personally, just check out an M roadster at the showroom to see what it would look like, I think its perfect, subtle but sporty

It is not woven, it's a CF pattern pressed into the leather. I have it on my Z4M coupe and it's one of the best interior trims I have ever had on a BMW.

Ok, I've seen that. I really like the porsche carbon on my car much better. I hope they will use something similar.

Carbon Fibre is meant to be matté finished, the glossy stuff always looks fake to my eyes, even the M6, which didn't move me in any way.
