What an outstanding mod! Before I made my final decision to get an E90, I considered E92's but only if they had the CR roof.

Ridiculously insane "nuclear" upgrade and I appreciate the detail and the pictures! Congrats on having the guts/time/money/temporary insanity to pull it off

Note: I do have a slicktop, and if I sell our other car, setup a payment plan with Slonik ...

For whatever reason BMW did not make the E90 with a CF roof. They acknowledged the error of their ways in the F80 and now the G80 gets the CF roof standard on the 4 door M. So everyone is in on the party except the E90! We must fix this!

I’ve considered switching the roof to CF for a long time but wasn’t willing to pull the trigger until I heard Slonik was building one. Aftermarket CF tends to look ok in pics but in person it looks like garbage. I’ve never been able to put aftermarket CF on my car… until now

Anyway, here it is! I went for a bigger than stock weave (large twill weave) so it has a more defined look vs the OEM look.
-Took 3.5 weeks from Russia to the East Coast, it arrived at my house
-It also gives some additional torsional rigidity (small figures, but glued carbon is more rigid than spot welded steel)
